PROS

  • • The lightweight, biodegradable housing is genuinely impressive for a head of this power.
  • • The EQ section offers precise tonal shaping, especially the 'Old School Filter'.
  • • The DI output is excellent, providing a clean, usable signal for recording and live sound.
CONS
  • • The 'cut' filter can be overly aggressive, limiting low-mid versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a solid simulation, capturing the warmth and saturation, but lacks the dynamic response and subtle nuances of true tubes.
The footswitch for the filter and mute functions is not included; it's a separate purchase.
A 10” or 12” speaker cabinet with good low-end extension will complement the amp's power and EQ well.
