Agh I'm sorry, but this demo's terrible. You basically only use the distortion setting, and everything youre playing revolves around generic riffs and just strumming the low E. This doesn't show the tonal versatility at all, or give any idea of the clean capabilities of the amp.
@Papadupulous Sorry man. I made this video almost two years ago and I've improved a lot since then. If I still owned this amp, I'd record a demo that did it true justice.
This is the only amp i've ever owned so i do not have a lot to compare it too.. I find the clean tone pretty sick but i find that the ultimate tone on this thing belongs on the dirt channel.. minimal gain (maybe at one, max), half presence (no more), and crank the volume.. I barely use the chorus except at a very slow rate as an anti-boost to fall back when necessary.. with a full band this amp blows though, even while miked through a PA.. No bragging rights for top end at all.. It gets lost...
I say the same thing.My friend had one back in High School and I know its potential.Not enough out there on this amp.So true its a great sound for a combo solid state.
i own this same amp and i love it. i have never heard a prettier chorus on a solid state. thanks for this demo. this amp doesnt get the appreciation it deserves.
great amp,I use it live and in the studio,with the right guitar and the right settings this amp can pull off anything from hendrix to vai.Not even useing pedals.Im using prs guitars,I have a m80 stack,use both chanels,love it!
@fritzmaster418 If you replaced the speakers, and closed the back of the cabinet and ran a really good distortion pedal voiced for metal, sure. Otherwise, no.
@fritzmaster418 I have the head version of the M80 Chorus and I run it through a Mesa Boogie Rectifier cab. The V30 speakers make it sound pretty mean. But in the stock cab, it sounds like ass and it gets buried in the mix while jamming with other people. I actually only really use mine for the clean sounds. I find the dirty channel too thin.

@fritzmaster418 This was my first amp back in the 90's and paired up with a good eq (i used a DOD atthe time) I pretty much nailed Overkills YOD album... So yeah, properly tweaked (like any rig), you'll get some nice tones.
I've this model too...doesn't make it some noise when you turn high gain and volume at the same time in the overdrive channel?? couse it makes to me and I think I do somthing wrong...

@Shiiheadbrett This is the 2x12 model. The 1x12 model lacks the built in chorus.

@LinkinPk1fan That's what I'd be doing now if I still had it. I love my B-52 for distortion, but the clean channel isn't spectacular.

I don't own this amp anymore. I definitely liked it for what it was but it had no bottom end due to the open backed cabinet.
