Everything said above
Preamp extremely comprehensive connectivity impressionnate opportunities.
UTILIZATION
Very simple and efficient, no frills.
on the other hand not too clever, you soon realize when you're in the extreme, it becomes sickening.
Cloaking is finally a pure marketing gimmick (tried carvin ...) for which I really saw no use ..
I always used without pedals
Led to check the input clipping very interesting to know where we stand.
SOUNDS
Lag Beast guitars used a very versatile, a Gibson studio 89
Amps: a Marshall 2X50 with EL34 tubes in a cab with V30 Harley Benton at the time (I have neither this nor the quad amp / cab I specify)
The clean sounds are not really at all in my téribles with my config, usually dull, but we may love. I would describe as fairly round with a small loss of life.
It was intended to be used in any case but boring very quickly.
The crunch is atrocious, I mean it is impossible for me to do something qque.
On the last drive channel, this is my favorite. Good headroom, with the Gibson I could find a sort of grunt underlying (hard to describe) behind the drive clean, organic something really coming out from behind .. I had never heard this before on any amp .. .
The grain of the drive is pretty tight, although for the metal eg.
One can find such sonts mid 80s heavy metal genre's first anthrax or slayer (I say style ... not exactly the same course)
The guy who says it sounds like a mesa must be operated ears. Nothing to do.
OVERALL OPINION
Lack of dynamics in general and this is what bothers me most, on all channels; This is why I sold it, but very versatile preamp.
Good versatility / price
For months it was a preamp "boring" in a very short time.
With the channel, again, with my config of the era, I was "ouhaaa genial" to tell me that it was crap after 3 minutes ....
