It's badass, I love this amp so far and after going down the rabbit hole, it's pretty much Fortin's Natas circuit which is the Elan Memran circuit with a modern power amp. I saw that it was loaded with JJ 6L6's and ECC83s and liked the tone so I left them in there for now.

Shot a little phone clip after messing with it for a few minutes and threw a ISP G-string in the loop. No 4CM yet as I have to figure this out as it has a instrument level loop. Just playing some riffs off of Fear Factory's Obsolete (parts of shock and securitron.

I know the video isn't shot right, I had to ziptie my phone to a mic stand and it was too short to secure it on horizontally :ROFLMAO:

It's been good to me and my #1
Would def recommend trying out other tube combinations.

Thank you, in the meantime I'm thinking about throwing in some of my foil getter Shuguangs and a Tung Sol in V1 and Sovtek LPS in the PI, then order some 6550s in a few weeks.

Settled on KT88s and EL34s after going through everything. Didn't do much rolling in the preamp section, tbh. I don't remember what's in it off the top of my head, will look in the morning. Pretty sure just a bunch of GEs and Telefunkens. I play mainly ERGs 7-10 strings and that's where these amps shine. What speakers are you using? I really like it with v30s and redbacks, but mostly use the emulated line out for recording. Don't tell anyone here, though. :ROFLMAO:

I get that a lot and thought it's dope lol. I play drums as well, but I'm a much better drummer than a guitar player :cry:

I'm using V30's in this Mesa recto cab, I have another 2 recto cabs. 1 with V30's and the other with C90's, I should try it with that cab.
