It wouldn't handle my Mesa V-Twin at all, even with it set to unity gain - the amp just mushed out and sounded like it was struggling to breathe. Too much bottom end probably.

Cheers for the heads up, I had bought it but not had the chance to read it yet.
Not having had any interest in transistor amps since the Linebacker I owned in 1987, from demos I'm picking up a quality to the distortion that I don't much like. Which I find interesting because I have almost always used OD pedals and really like the Blackstar HT series, a hybrid. It's interesting, this valve vs. transistor thing.

My bandit on its regular gain goes up to hair metal, with the boost on it goes up to 90s nu metal. Gain at 6 on the classic channel and you've got a really cool, heavy, clear tone that copes with drop tuning great and no fizz. Perfect! Very, very close to 'the sound in my head'. It did take a good few hours of tweaking, though...
However, now I've found it and written these settings down, I can return to them after a tweak easily. Pushing the thrash button is good fun, but I doubt it'll work in a band. Excellent for emulating valvey drive at lower gain settings though (yet, I can't imagine a strat playing blues master ever even considering pressing the thrash button, even though all it does it remove some miss and therefore reduce the amount of distortion, which is most obvious in that range).
