just an update my tube zone came about 15 minutes ago and i played it for about 10 and i can say this already....if you can't get a tone from this thing you like just quit playing guitar LOL. i was using it through my '79 marshall JMP into my splawn 4x12 with a JB loaded super strat. keep in mind my main amp is a dual recto and my marshall gets little use due to a severe lack of balls LOL. that's why i bought the tube zone to give the JMP a large nut implant :laugh2: anyway, the amp was set to a 90% clean sound i guess you can call it and i used the Tube Zone to add the gain. this thing is crazy, it can go from just a bit of a boost with the gain down to some AC/DC grit to some great metal tones and anything else between them. the knobs react very well and every slight movement makes a slight tone change which is nice since some pedals require large knob moves for small changes. i need to spend more time with it but it's hard to crank my amps around here all the time and give it a good long test. however after only 10 minutes of use at a moderate volume (hot plate was also on at -8 during this teest) with some quick and random knob twisting just to see what it does i know it will only get better as i play with the settings and crank up the amp even more.
