As expected, the go-to amp for tons of metal and hardcore guitarists. I play through a Jackson DK-2, with a Mastertone SPA hum in the bridge, and two EMG-SA's in middle and neck, and a Kelly celestion equipped cab, and I couldn't be happier with the crushing distortion and soaring leads. The clean channel got dirty at higher volumes, but sounded quite good with effects.What surprised me most about this amp, was when my Dad plugged his '72 Gibson Les Paul Standard in. Perfect cleans, and an awesome, hot blues tone. This amp is much more versatile than one would imagine, if you experiment with your axe selection.
I've owned a lot of different heads, and this one is by far the best of them all....if you use the right stuff with it. The best way that I have found to run it is like this...Your guitar (best with EMG's) into a Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer. Then into the high gain input. In the effects loop run a BBE Sonic Stomp into a ISP Decimator and then back to the return...if you run any effects put them in line before the BBE. Sound will be best if run through a Mesa Recto 4x12 or a Marshall 1960A cab. Also, it seems to sound best with Mesa 6L6 tubes. This thing has amazing tone for any style.
if you want to have the best head around for hardcore music, here is were you will find it. The distortion is amazing.............. GO BUY THIS NOW!!!!!!
i have been playing guitar for about three years and then some, i have played many many many different types of amps and just nothing at can nearly come close to the raw crunch sound of this amp. the only thing that i didnt fall in love with was the clean, lets just say its not its strong point, but hey if youre going to be playing hardcore, metal, rock psh you dont need clean !!! lol just over drive
I got this amp for Christmas and it has only been amazing. I play it on 2 and it's about the same volume as my old 50 watt Fender I had. It took me a while to find my sound, though. I ended up buying a ts9 and I put it in front of my amp. It brightens my sound while adding more crunch.You can get that kill switch. The clean channel is good. Nothing special but effective. If you're thinking about buying this amp I would highly reccomend it.
