Nice demostration, thanks. I have this amp as well. Do you feel any difference Weep on and off?? In my case not really. I love the amp, however I have a Peavy transtube studio pro. Super low price used market, and from my little experience it is equal or even better sounding amp regards.

One of the best metal amps of all time, but you either have to swap a resistor with a 40 cent pot to get the proper midrange control back, or run an EQ on the effects loop. With either option, it unleashes the ultimate sleeper amp, but without it, the midrange dominance even with the shape on 10 is still horrid if you shred, sweep and crunch and chug like I do. *I have a bunch of these and it's variants lol.*

@dressedtosmellgood Жыл бұрын
It's fine. The thing to remember with solid state amps is that you need lots of headroom. My personal view is that it's wise to have at least 100-150 watts whenever using an ss amp. That said I've brought this thing to jams and cranked it way up and thought it sounded great. Depends what you need to get out of it. Speaker selection is an important factor. Seventy-80s are not high performance speakers.

Hey, I got the same amp, but with single coils it gets REALLY noisy especially on Channel 2. Yours seems really quiet. With humbuckers, I don't have that problem, so I am guessing it's not the amp's fault... My single coil guitar has nice pickups and is shielded as well.. Could it be an electricity problem in the room I'm using it (old building with questionable electricity system)?
@jakubpodesva98024 ай бұрын
Well, humbuckers are just hum-bucking no matter what. When it comes to single coils, it depends on electricity always with any amp - in my experience. I have mine at home studio which have some grounding done and there is no problem, I've played one gig in theatre where the single coils where ABSOLUTELY UNBEARABLE and there was almost same amount of some humming shit as actual sound... I had to play all concert on the strat position 4. Just try it in different building and you will see ;)
