Another thing I found odd about the preamp tube sockets is that the pin opening on each one faced a different direction. they are scattered all over the chasis and other than v1, I am not certain which is which. I also do not, at all, like the preamp tube layout. I pulled a couple power tubes and was actually nervous that the sockets were going to come out!!! The power tube sockets are mounted above the chasis and are plastic with 2 screws holding each one in. The jack for the guitar is not mounted very well and can be wiggled quite a bit.I could easily see it getting ripped out if you step on the cord, etc. I think the amp is built sub par at best. Going just on tone and features, I think it is a nice amp, but not worth the price they are selling for. I did not, however try any other effects, I am not an effects loop guy. I slapped an EQ in the loop and it worked fine. you start to clip after that and it isnt a nice sounding clip.very digitalish and yuck sounding. I found it to be pretty useless past about 10 oclock. There is not a volume for the clean channel, but rather a gain knob. the shared EQ does not cause any problems. The clean channel also has a bright switch which does a noce job and the clean channel sounds good with it on or off. The voicing of the amp is somewhat Mesaish, but the mids are focused a tad higher. I could do similar boosting with either my Power Screamer or OD808 without the hiss added with the bright switch. The bright switch really acts as a NOISY boost. There is also a bright switch on the gain channel.

There is a mid cut switch that sounds very good in either position (unlike the Framus Cobra, who's mid cut switch is pretty bad IMHO).

High gain tones are Ultra heavy and can get very compressed. I do not think the mid gain tones are very good. It also has an effects send return and 2 master volumes.įrom a tone perspective, the amp sounds quite good for high gain and clean applications. The amp is a basic 2 channel design with shared EQ. Hector he had on a trial basis and I agreed to give a review of it. As some of you know, Josh sent me the Mr.
