After having this amp for about a month now, I've had some time to play with it and I have found some really sweet tones. I've been playing with a SG standard with a 59n/custom pup combination.
I have been mostly playing the Blue channel. At first I didn't think it was a huge improvement over my DSL. So I decided to play the bogner for a week exclusively. Then I plugged the DSL back in. It now sounds like garbage in comparison.
I absolutely love the pick response I get from my guitar through the bogner. With super loud, high gain settings, I can go from slightly overdriven to huge distortion just with my pick attack. Over all the Blue channel is very harmonically rich, and makes my guitar sing.
I haven't spent as much time with the Red channel yet, but I found some great lead tones and some killer heavy rhythm sounds.
The Green channel. I know this is probably the weaker of the three channels. This channel seems much different than the clean channel on the DSL. On the DSL, I can get a pretty good clean sound from the Custom in the bridge of my SG, and the 59n, doesn't sound so hot.
In the Bogner, it's the complete opposite. I haven't been able to dial in a really good tone with the Custom, but the 59N sounds pretty good without much tweaking. Gearjonser - any tips for getting good tones out of this channel?
For anyone who might know, is it necessary to turn the power off when changing the Class A/AB and Old/New switches? I have been turning it off, but would it be ok to put the amp on Stand By?
I am assumming that you have to turn it off to switch the Full/Half Power options, since you have to change impendence to match.
