I write this review to clarify that
- The Power Soak only works on the 8 ohm output.
- The headphone output is 8 ohms. The manufacturer recommends a headphone 8-32 ohms.
UTILIZATION
The manual is complete but only in English / German. (Note: I bought in Italy.)
Nothing complicated to understand, the settings are conventional.
The manual specifies the connection to the footswitches. It seems conventional, so contrary to what I was told a seller, you must use one other than the Z4. I also tried a conventional footswitch in mono, and it worked half (there are two entry orders so it takes footswitch stereo), which tends to confirm.
SOUNDS
I use it with an SG and a cab 2xV30.
I just have. I can not say much relevant about sound my point of comparison is my old combo transistors low end. Inevitably, there is a chasm.
OVERALL OPINION
I chose it for its power setting (power soak) and headphone output. With these criteria, I had a choice with ESRD Studio at Laney. I had not tried any of the two before, but I was recommended the Ironball.
I tried a Tubemeister 18 combo a few weeks earlier. It seemed to me as well. I do not have enough ear, or not enough compared to the difference catches my ears.
If there Ironball combo, I might have taken the combo release.
