Frequently Asked Questions
The Class A preamp section really sets it apart; it’s noticeably warmer and less sterile than many other solid-state amps in this wattage range.
The DI output is perfectly usable for recording; it provides a clean, balanced signal, although you may want to tweak EQ depending on your tracking needs.
While it can technically handle a 10-string, you'll likely need to manage the low-end carefully with the subsonic filter to avoid muddiness, and it’s better suited for smaller gigs with a 10-string.
