yeah this amp does the vintage thing much better than the naked or the be/hbe. It was so open sounding & the sustain, damn, it was just off the hook!

Me and Superunknown (Todd) played the SS some Friday. I also played the BE/HBE. SS was awesome! The lit Raygun logo gave it a cool cosmetic vibe. The tone was a dream. I agree about having a little more gain on tap. I can't say enough good things about both amps and David is a cool guy 
Killertones 76" Les Paul sounds badass in the video.

Hey guys
Dave worked on the SS Amp all day yesterday and we sent Steve some pictures of the panels so steve could work on the cosmetics. Dave and I a/b steves current friedman with the proto from the video and Daves working on the more gain. The amp should be ready to go really soon.
As of now, the amp will have a full clean channel and dirty channel w/ metro loop. Im hoping the "more gain" will be a switchable thing. I loved the way the amp sounded as is. A switchable higher gain mode would make it perfect.

Is the full clean channel the same as the one that used to be available on the Marsha? If so, it's hands down one of the best clean tones going...it seriously rivals my Matchless Chieftain. So much better than I ever expected from a Marshall-style platform.Tone Merchant":2valw5up said:

Dang man, Dave's amps sounded killer in the room. Was really cool hanging out and being able to hear such great amps in person.
I really liked his pairing of Greenies/V30 in one of his cabs.

the SS clean sounds better in my opinion and also has a 3 position bright switch. There is a real bright setting on the clean that is really cool for guys that want a real chimey clean when using humbuckers like Steve does

Sounds great. Best new amp by far I've heard as far as video clips. Steve Stevens does help though.

1. I'm really sorry Gary Moore never got to play through something like that.

Btw I remember speaking with Friedman back circa 2008 and suggesting that SS try a Metropoulos amp at the time. Dave said they didn't have enuff gain for Steve. 2012 George is building Steve's amp..funny old world innit..
