So based on this thread:
https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/suggest-me-the-amp.1554198/page-2
and suggestions made by you I decided to go with Black Cat 30. I tried 2014 model which unfortunataly was not for sale and decided to order 2015 model with new K-master volume. I ordered mine with the reverb and 2x12 cab.
When I plugged first notes I was blown away first by the clean sounds. I tested that 2014 model with some really hot pickups which were not ideal for playing clean and got maybe wrong idea of the cleans in the amp.. Then again K-master volume can do some magic for the clean tones. Cleans sound really nice and have a little bit more percussive attack than my previous amps. This is really nice feature, because I sometimes play some rhytmic delay stuff.
Soon I moved to the second channel and thought that I could like it more with tone circuit (because of Matchless nighthawk is amazing), but I found out that Bass and treble side of the second channel was better and maybe bit gainier. Tones in this channel are amazing and only thing I would like to have would be a little more gain, but I think Hot Cat would have been too much Although gain in Black Cat covers 99% of my playing time. I also tried some OD's and Boosters with different guitars and found out that Black cat takes pedals well and with my OD's and booster I could get all I need in this. I also played some ambient stuff with harmony-, delay- and reverb pedal and some amp reverb on top of that. This was really amazing sounding setup. All this was in my flat with quite reasonable volumes with new K-master. This sunday I'm going to try it out with band volumes which may provide more gain because I'm able to open up K-master and boil those power tubes a little more
Overall amp was really nice and fitted my needs.
