It's cool and it does the Vai Jose thing, so if that's what you're looking for it's worth checking out. I do wish it had an insert loop as well as the buffered loop to do the pcm41 boost thing, but oh well lol
Nope. A couple dealers jumped the gun and shipped them early, and it seems like everyplace pre-sold all of them but tomorrow is the official release date
Given the description and what the guy on the other forum said I am guessing so
Hell for $4375 I'd consider moving mine and just buying another one later lol
It's not a sign at all, he already has a 1959 Dave did the 3-in-1 mod on and wanted to see if it was different enough to keep both. He decided it wasn't. The one on reverb is a guy that has a IIC++ and a Wizard inbound and is moving it help fund the amp rotation lol
Yep people need to make up their own minds. I'm not waiting, I got on the list when it was announced and have one here
The Fortus thing surprised me as the "standard" 3-in-1 Jose is brighter than the Jose he was using (I have an SLP here Dave did with that Fortus/Mars circuit). They both sound...
Yep. Dude mentioned it in the thread on there, he already has a Jose modded Marshall Dave did and the switchable presence wasn't enough of a difference from his existing one to keep it.
To the extent that it is an extra gain stage in front of a Marshall-ish circuit with optional clipping diodes. So similar topology but a lot of circuit differences.
The Jose really does sound like the Vai amp that Pete Thorn did the video on a while ago.
