Which may match the 2x12 cab I got last year:
I have to say it's everything I hoped and more, @martinw has really excelled himself.
It's MJW #217: Roadstar Twin, pretty much the "kitchen sink" version with effects loop, power scaling and valve driven spring reverb. Channel 1 has a bright switch too.
It's been a long wait, but worth it!
Channel 2 is British voiced, and does more of a 70's Marshall thing, although with more gain available. The whole sweep of the gain control is usable which I find very rare in an amp. You can scoop the mids and boost the bass and do modern hard rock sounds, or boost the mids and turn down the bass for AC/DC tones.
Both channels are really touch sensitive.
Haven't used the effects loop or power scaling yet, but I'm very impressed so far. The reverb is lovely, and the whole amp runs incredibly quietly, even with the reverb on and a decent amount of gain.
I'm also really impressed by the drive control on the rear, which functions as a master volume. You can keep the volume very manageable while not killing the tone or dynamics.
No effects other than onboard reverb used for all but the heavy clip where I used an EMMA stinkbug as a boost. All played using a telecaster.
Volume isn't huge, just above normal bedroom volume.
These are just a rough guide as to what the amp can do, I've just fiddles with the controls for about 5 minutes, I'm sure I'll refine them with a little more fiddling.
Sounds great. I'd love a combo version of this.
Nice playing! And thanks for the mention.
I like this amp a lot, and I think I shall be building myself one during my time off, as it's an ideal home amp for me, with a good range of sounds to stop me getting bored and messing with umpteen pedals
If and when I start up again, this would be one of the models that is carried over.
