It's very easy to dial in, you only need to plug in, adjust 2-3 things and you've got it sounding!
SOUND
I play mainly metal. With a good guitar, it's amazing.
The clean sound is wonderful and super warm.
The drive is very Brit rock and blues. It's super well-defined.
The boost channel adds gain to the drive channel and it's incredibly good!!
You can also reboost the gain!!!
This amp head is perfect for all kinds of rock and blues. For metal and similar sounds, I recommend you to add a 7-band EQ via the effects loop.
You will be under the impression of having changed amps, the sound is ten times better and much more shapeable.
I used it 3 years with an Ibanez equipped with Rio Grande.
I never used effects!!! (except for the Boss EQ).
Sound is precise, very round and unforgiving with wrong notes.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for 3 years to play rock, blues, jazz, and metal, and it never disappointed me!!! The proof is that I became a fan of Trace Elliot amp heads (even if they are not manufactured anymore) and ended up finding and buying the all-tube version (Speed twin H100).
I used to play Marshall hybrid amps (Valvestate 8080 and 2000), which are good amps, but there's simply no comparison!!! The sound is really impressive for a hybrid amp head!! Even more so considering its like a collector's item!!
I would certainly buy it again if I was faced with the choice!!
