I got the Series II.
The original one I was playing was a series I. I loved everything about it. But after doing a little research, I found that the series II was going to be a touch more in my direction.
Consensus seemed to be that Channel 1 crunch was a touch better on the series I, and Gain was better on Series II. Honestly, I don't see how you could lose either way.
This thing is so freaking flexible! It can be tweaked to perfection.
50 watt, fluid gain, spongy with tube rectifier is just soooo VH I. Brown like three days of eating salad in Tiajuana.
100 watt tite gain with bold and silicon diode is just pure brutal. Down tune to D and hit it hard to just loosen your bowels from the pure thump factor.
I'm kind of thinking silicon diode, 50 watt fluid gain on bold is "my" sound.
Crunch is very cool too. Great all around rhythm sound that is very reactive to the pickups.
I REALLY love the dirt simple flight controls:
Master volume way on left. On the right => Channel volume, presence, bass, mid, treble, and gain all in a neat row.
