I gotta say guys, I have a Wizard now, and I LOVE it, but I plugged into the King Kong this morning after taking some pictures of it, and it's definitely on par. A little different obviously, but damn it sounds awesome. Once word gets out about this amp, at this price point and feature set, it's going to give the other modded Marshall amps at over double the cost a serious run for their money. Like I said, I love the Wizard, but if I hadn't already purchased the Wizard and had just the King Kong, I don't think I'd even be considering another amp. However, I do have the Wizard, so.... LOL! Seriously, if you get a chance to check this amp out, do it. It'll do whatever you want it to, more or less.
