Question Amp for modelers...GT800FX HYPE???

Got mine in yesterday and all I have to say is WAAAOOO!!!! I compared it with the guitar and music to 4 other power amps I have. BGW, Crown, QSC and the Sla 2.

My favorite amps for years has been the old BGW's, the Matrix is as good and or better to my ears...I was also very impressed with the audio detail and the dynamics...

THIS THING ROCKS!!!
cant believe this sound is coming out such a light weighted amp. By the way it sounds so clear that I turned some effects down in some of my patches. And last, my rack is almost 10lbs less....Love it!!!!

Now I see what all the hype is all about.

...:::THIS IS A KEEPER:::...

I think with cabinets with some EVM12L'S

BTW. Matrix is sending me some new drivers (speakers) to test. They are based on the EVM12L but then improved. Will put my findings here.

Now there is proof my findings are NOT hype

If they can make EVM12L-like speakers with half the weight or less, they will become VERY popular.
