I only had an hour or so with it today. I'll try and post a full report later. What an amp! So punchy and ballsy! Amazing gain with zero buzz. Beautiful highs, solid lows and rich mids. What more could you want?? It rips with both my R7 Les Paul and Strat. I couldn't stop playing Gov't Mule, AC/DC and Zep riffs with my Les Paul. I wish I had a Tele.
It takes pedals amazingly well. My London Fuzz never sounded so good! I set up the TMB channel for mild crunch and the London Fuzz sounded absolutely amazing!
I was a little concerned about headroom based on what I'd read, but with single coils, I think I'll be fine. Keep in mind I've been playing mostly low watt amps (18 watt) lately so I am not used to huge Twin Reverb cleans. I like my cleans with a little dirt and this delivers!
Before I plugged into the amp, I was a little skeptical of the click channel. I just didn't think I'd find a setting I'd like without more control. Wrong! I love it set two clicks in from the left side.
I have seen quite a bit posted about how this is not a good bedroom/home amp. I don't see any issues with it. I don't think you could use it in an apartment, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work in most home environments. I am not going to crank it up now with my kids sleeping, but I can set it up clean and hit it with a pedal or two and it sounds fine. Not nearly as good cranked up, but it will do.
More to follow. For now, I am in heaven. I need to join a band just so I can hear this in that context!
