Everything has already been written.

I have version A

Only gripe to me about this part chipotant: a separate EQ on the lead channel. But at the same time to the size ... I really quibble!

UTILIZATION

RAS, plug it sounds ...
It's very light in how to make the settings.
Two complaints:
> On the part gear itself, the overall strength looks good, including the various inputs and outputs even if a bit too plastic. Against by connecting the power supply is a bit "soft" for my taste ... Probably something to improve ... But since the sound of the beast, I will have no qualms about releasing some tickets for an upgrade / reliability of the beast in a pro!
> On the use, as I am happy in a singly linked (guitar + SS-11 + EHX 44 magnum + Orange PPC 112 closed), I am much more reserved in use 4 cables with my Pod HD 400 used as multi purpose .. it gets loud and cold ... But I suspect more the pod HD and non-transparency of its FX Loop that the AMT itself.

SOUNDS

Bon ben over there in my singly linked (see above), with my gibson SG or Fender Jazzmaster is my right foot ...
> The light is superb, and the colors varied via the EQ, or even better via the gain variation ... A success!
> Crunches .... It is a machine to crunch this thing! even quite hot in my config. Warning light for a cruch it will either be in the millimeter gain setting or rediscover its volume knob ...
> The Lead: Initially I saw the weak point of the beast, to the point of considering making a version B. After some thought and a few hours of use later, I find this channel as well as it can either play the role of overdrive more or less chubby compared crunch channel, ie, by putting a little volume, do a very good lead in all styles, as long as you do not try to play Slipknot ... From rock to metal but not too extreme it does, not necessarily with a ton of gain but on the other hand dynamics sick!

OVERALL OPINION

Anyway I love the beast ...

After hesitating to try the B, I stay with my A, but we will now that I explore the 12AX7 and ECC83 going well (even if the original ones are pretty well their job).
For me a very nice tool, with small weaknesses worth IMHO largely an upgrade, because it really is a very loveable beast.
