Anyone own one of these? Nik's reputation and designs are well regarded and the prices seem pretty sweet. I am a novice tweaker/solder-er (and I have two small kids with another on the way
:BOUNCE
so time is more important than money at this juncture. I like the idea of the 18 watt TMB + ef86 in theory, but I wonder how close it really gets to a great Marshall 18 watter AND an ef86 Voxey vibe.
A MV is essential, I guess this does have one but only on the Marshall TMB side? Does it sound good at basement/bedroom levels?
How about the ef86 side? I love that tube, but I don't trust it much lol!
I guess "I want it all" as they say in High School Musical 3"! So, once I count up the full build + head cab <never will I get a combo with an ef86> + shipping (any idea of shipping costs?) it starts to get a little pricey.
BUT, the only amp that seems to come close to this is the Gabriel Voxer which is WAY out of my price range.
Is the ef86 side even useable for home use (edge of breakup tones) without the MV? Thanks for any insight!
NOTE: what the heck is the Klein-ulator? Is that an attenuator or outboard FX loop? (both of which I might need)?
