Vrad, what amp would you compair the non boosted gain closest to? Will get get to Jubilee levels of distortion without the boost? From the clips that I've heard it sounds like it definately has more gain than a JCM800... which if that is the case, it will more than do what I need it to do.
More gain than a Jubilee. More gain than a stock 800. Picture a hot-rodded Plexi. Not modern high gain though. I think I'd put it in the ball park of the XTC Blue Channel with the boost engaged. But its been a while since I had an XTC so I could be off a bit
Yep. But at the same time, it's got less hair and teeth than a Marshall, IMO. Rounder, more low-mid, clearer. Great amp. I haven't tried a 45 but I've played or owned every other Budda made (some multiple times!). The 80 is the big daddy of the bunch in every way. Plus a great clean and a no-fuss loop. And self-biasing.
