Very rare amp in amazing condition. This particular Poundcake is a 25th Anniversary model, which is the final iteration of this amp design, and now discontinued (along with all Steavens amps), and was made in 2014. It shares the same 4-channel layout of previous models, with Clean, Crunch, “Meat,” and “Heat” channels.
All four channels have a front-pane bright switch which cannot be changed via footswitch. However, each of the 3 gain channels can be set to 3 different modes (Green, Orange, Red) as well as a “Mid” boost which increases upper mids quite drastically for more cut. Combined with the bright switch, this can take the amp into near-Recto territory for high gain sounds, but switching these off and going to Green mode can nail classic rock and early metal tones with ease. The clean channel also benefits from these modes and the mid boost and has its own separate volume and EQ control. The 3-drive channel share a pair of switchable master volumes, which is great for solo boosting.
The most innovative feature is the 5 button MIDI footswitch, which when set to “PGM” mode can store the settings of the amp as they are configured, and the 5th button can switch banks.
