Gotta few minutes in yesterday and today on the Flexi (got a great deal on a used one) and man; this is a whole new world for me.
This amp is very unique; my first THD amp. They have some very different controls and getting my head around them is going to take a while.
But just even off the bat, trying a few tubes and just playing with it; this is one amp that will keep you honest. You can't "coast" while playing this, it gives up what you give it. Exceptionally responsive no matter what tubes in it.
I have a lot of learning to do with this thing. It doesn't sound like any amp I have ever owned; I love the aggressive yet smooth distortion character; especially how the upper mids are voiced. This thing will CUT in the mix.
The scary thing is the cleans, which honestly I was very suspect of. Man, ring and even chime are in this thing. Big round and just enough grit to add some musical traction to the tone. Fun!
And the journey begins.....
