That's just one setting, mind.
Mind blown
the must see thing of the show said @monquixote to me earlier today. So...I forgot to look...doh...
Genuinely pretty excited.
What do you think on the price? Worth it? Should be less? It is feature-packed and the sounds are better than a POD (agreed on that??) but I can't work out price-wise where it should sit other than just for my own pocket, I wish it was sub-£400.
Let's be having some reviews
Like you, I didn't get a chance to turn it up so I've no idea what it'll sound like at volume, or indeed if it will actually be really loud.
I've just ordered mine and so has the mate I was at the show with yesterday. The JHS guys gave me Ivor Morantz number and said they would price match GuitarGuitar at £489 delivered next day (tomorrow on my day off - bonus!). In addition to the thoughts above on the unit:
I had two of the fiercest critics of my guitar tone with me - Koneguitarist and my son Ben. Both of whom were completely blown away by the unit.
I did get an opportunity to wind it up above halfway and it is bloody loud but retains it's composure at highr volume levels as well. The FX loop seemed very transparent and the delay unit on their board sounded great. The boost control was set to full which obviously sent the clean a bit over the edge but tghis can be adjusted to suit.
I noticed that Thomas keeps his clean gain level flat out so I did the same. The clean was a pleasant surprise straight away, really full and sweet (I have a Carr Slant 6V so I appreciate a classy clean sound).
What we need to remember as well is that there are incividual channel controls for three of the cxhannels on the side so balancing all three should be a doddle.
I lowered the gain on the Modern channel and this made it much more useable for classic rock and blues lead sounds.
I'm hoping reliability won't be an issue as Thomas has been road testing the amp for ages now. He has a lot riding on this being a success and reliability issues cannot be a factor for him.I'd like to find out how long the manufacturers warranty is, can't find it on the website.
Anyway, my first gig with it is next Saturday - standby.....
