i just bought one of these about 2 weeks ago. so far i would rate it an 8/10. problems being the amp tends to be slightly "barky" at times on the distortion channel. the amp is incredibly touch sensitive so the volume can totally be controlled simply by hard or soft playing. you can get pure metal tones but also can push the clean channel to get bluesy breakup. it's LOUD> cant stress that enough. i suggest using a simple 2 knob quality comp on a low setting to ease off on the bite.
@melonheed3 i just bought a good quality compressor and just a slight amount of compression really rounds out the top while not taking too much away from the bottom. the tone of the amp is still there but there's no volume disparagement now. it's a great amp. if people see one and think only 35 watts..it's dyna watts so it's much closer to 80 watts. it really is amazing how loud the amp is.
Dude, did you you use any pedals with this demo, or color the sound with anything other than reverb from the amp? I am surprised how tight the amp sounds with el84's, they sound similar to 6l6's. Really nice demo
Man, i had to confess that i add a little reverb on cakewalk sonar. But thats all. 99% original sond. The amp has all 12ax7 Mesa and El84 Svetlana warm. Thanks for kind comment!

I have this amp with a Celestion V 30 speaker. Is your the same or is it the Electro Voice Speaker?
