These are two amps on my short list. Both 1x12 combos.
I played the TA-30 112 combo yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised/impressed. Especially in the clean-to-crunch area. The higher gain tones didn't thrill but I imagine they would benefit from a little more volume and/or a little clean boost in front. It's the first amp I've played that had such great versions of both fender and vox tones in a switchable setup. So I view any available high gain as just gravy.
I've owned the Duende - an early swamp switch model. I liked it a lot but at the time I was more focused on the gain sounds and they fell short for me. I understand the newer revision may address that. It's also been a while so my memory is fading. There aren't any locally for me to try out and refresh my memory.
So if anybody has any thoughts to offer, I'd appreciate it!
