It most certainly isn't going to replace my Cherry Bomb or Mark IIC+, but it sounds and feels REALLY good. And for the price point, I think it sounds amazing.
I haven't even put an MXR 10 band in the loop yet.....which is the secret sauce for my sound with every amp and I got it dialed in to a tone that sounds like "me" in just a few minutes.
Highly recommend this thing.
One last point.....I would be happy to gig with this thing in a heartbeat if I were still gigging. It is much better than several amps that I did gig with
Wow.
Now plug that eq in the loop. This amp will melt your face off.
What are you all doing with the eq settings? I'd like to melt face too
I imagine a little smile mid scoop?
Is it way better than just using the same settings in the para eq in the amp software?
I can't speak to the para EQ in the amp because I haven't used it yet, but I do love para EQ! My PQ6 is one of my prize possessions
However, I put an MXR 10 Band in the loop of every amp I play....for the past several years. It adds a special " something" to my ears to the tone.
On some amps, I leave everything flat, but on most, I drop the 500 a tad and the 1000 about half what I drop the 500. I've found that these two sliders on this EQ...for me...are where the magic happens. Some amps need more and some amps need less.
I tend to stay away from the classic frown because I'm not really looking for scooped tone.
I find that I like to notch a little out on every amp between 400hz and 800hz. It is different on every amp. It is for the same reason.... not really going for ultra-scooped, but getting rid of a little mids clears the tone up and makes it sound heavier.
I can't remember where I set my Katana, but it was either 500hz, or 630hz. I didn't like it as much up around 800hz, for that particular amp.
