I was in Chicago last week and went to Make N Music (love that store) where I was able to try out lots of amps. I've always been interested in a Monza, but never heard one.
WOW! I got instant Grissom tones. I know it's nicknamed Billy in a box, but it's got that chirpy/Dumbly type of tone that Grissom gets. I tried it through all my cabs, but it really sounds great with my Kerry Wright 2x12 open back with the Celestion Heritage G12H30 75hz speakers.
Another amazing thing is, at super saturated gain levels the amp cleans up really well with the guitar's volume knob. Clean to scream!!
BTW, this amp is LOUD so I used my Aracom to tame it a bit.
Grissom is touring with a custom PRS 30 watt EL84 amp these days and the Monza is also an EL84 amp. Great amp and an amazing price point!
