    Supersonce sound!

    Budda Superdrive 45 Series II HeadPublished on 06/08/11 at 15:07
    I am not really a fan of the KT66 power tubes in amps but this one doesn't sound that bad. It is pretty thick and fat sounding.

    First off this amp is ugly as hell. Nothing about the amp cosmetically is appealing what so ever. From the stupid purple color to the hideous control knobs. It is as Budda set out to make a pure ugly amp and would stop at nothing to achieve that feat. A hand clap goes out to you guys on a job well done, mission accomplished. However, the amp sound amazing!!! Just hide it behind a Marshall on stage and see if anyone takes notice of how your tone sounds.

    SOUNDS

    The tones on this amp are extremely fat sounding. They resonate very well with a humbucker style pickup guitar. Especially if you use a superstrat like Charvel or a Suhr guitar. Using a nice maple neck on top of alder body will get that fat tone to open up a lot more to get clean distorted note and string separation. Very great tone for rock and pop music.

    OVERALL OPINION

    At new these amps come in at around $2000 which may be a bit high for a lot of people, but the tone is extremely good. If you can get over how stupid these amps look.

    I would recommend this amp to anyone needing a fat sounding distortion tone very similar to a Soldano SLO and don't want to fork out the money to buy one of those.
