Has anyone tried these amps? They seem like a good deal for the money.

Played the Armageddon--sounds great (Imagine a budget Herbert) but now has me worried that it's taken over a year to get to market.

I played a Vengeance at the local GC and really dug it.

I did too. Would have liked to heard it at gig volume though. (I'm cognizant of reasonable volume in-store)

I've played the vengeance and it impressed me quite a bit. I'd like to spend some more time with it.

We must really hear things different because I really don't think it sounds anything like a Herbert. I borrowed a Vengeance for a weekend and it went head to head (pun intended) against the Herbert, Engl, and both Peters. It got slaughtered. It seemed muddy to me. I retubed it with KT77's and EL34's, that did help but it still was not a tone that I go for at all. I almost made a video comparing them but felt I didn't need to bash it(even though I feel the need now). It sounded decent at low volumes but when pushed it really could not hold a candle to my other amps. I really wanted to like it too.
On the other hand, the clean and classic rock type tones were pretty damn good. IDK, just not my thing. It had really weird mids too.

Can't speak to the Vengeance--haven't played it. Layout of the Armageddon is quite similar to Herbert (Mid cut control anyone?) but the on-board ISP Decimator is a great feature.

Sorry about that. I read you wrong, thought you said Vengeance. I had heard the preamp circuit was basically the same on both the Vengeance and the Armageddon, this is just hearsay on my part. I would imagine they would be close but maybe I'm wrong. I would like to hear the Armageddon to see if it's better to me.
Built in ISP would be awesome.
Again, my apologies on my inability to read.

I posted a question on Egnaters forum here at Rig Talk asking about the difference between the gain channels of the Arm vs. the Veng....Bruce said they were quite similar.
