I had the pleasure of owning this amp for about a week. I really think I jumped the gun on the return because I've been too eager to try a VHX or a Herbert. After messing with it for a night and the next morning, I put in the return request. I had another 4 days before the request went through and was sent the shipping label, and in that time I really learned the ways of the Big Max. It sounded the best with my EQD Dunes for the ultra heavies. It really does respond much like a 2204 type of circuit, except for that meaty harmonically saturated thing that Diezels do when you goose them with a good boost. Cleans were incredible when rolled back on the neck pickup of my baritone tele. I just put the order in for a VHX because the feature set just looks so perfect for home recording (and occasional live playing). If that doesn't work out I'll probably move on to the Herbert. Even if I keep one of those, I can easily see owning another Big Max in the future. They're just fun. Stripped down, bare bones, solid tone.
