Well, everything has finally arrived, here she is. I had been playing it through the combo's speakers, and boy was it ever loud. The closed back is really the way to go, plus these speakers are a little less sensitive than the Mesas, so they aren't nearly as loud, I can actually tuen it up a bit and not be deaf in 5 minutes. It's the EL34 version, and really the best way to describe it is "The best Marshall tones you've never heard". No need to boost or add an OD, just goos the gain a little and it sings. Even the clean channel sounds better through the closed back, less upper mid boxiness, just nice warm tone. I think it's a bit more gainy than even most modded Plexis in 1st gear, but the tone is amazing, especially the way rolling back on the volume cleans it up. Getting into 2nd and 3rd really lay on the gain, but as so many people have posted no matter how much gain you have, it's still very clear and you can hear everything you're playing. It's a great amp, it complements the Mesa nicely.
Here's the Mesa...
I can't wait to set it up in stereo to get some blend a la Adam Jones.
XSSIVE, do you give lessons on photography?
