Well after spending over a week with this amp Ive decided I love it.
Had problems at first with the combination of a high output guitar (evh wolfgang) the booster and the power attenuation.
Ive since got hold of a rock crusher which works great with the amp, and now Im enjoying the booster to full effect.
I like the epa above noon, but this is still loud, and is in fact about the volume of the first attenuation setting on the rock crusher so for quieter gigs I will take that along with me.
I had toyed with the idea of returning it and just getting a reissue plexi instead, but I got this one in mint second hand condition from Coda music for £999, so its no contest really. I use power attenuation of one sort or another more or less all the time so the self biasing feature is gonna be a godsend saving numerous trips to the guitar tech. It was also great fun to turn up at band rehearsal with just the amp cab and a guitar and watch everyones reaction when it started to sing..........
Im amazed just how versatile the amp is, those 2 volume controls make for a wide variety of tones.
Now then, anyone in the UK using a variac for that brown sound?
Was looking to give that a try but everything Ive seen on the net is talking about US voltages, so was hoping someone might have a few pointers.
