It couldn't get into that singing lead territory like the Ecstasy does. I had to fight it a bit. It had a decent amount but I was just wishing it had that little extra bit more without kicking a pedal in. I was also surprised that it had about half the gain of the 6v6 Duende I played.
Funny thing is, I played a 6L6 Shiva combo a couple years after that and it seemed to have a lot more gain and I liked the clean channel a lot more. I'm not really a player who needs a shit load of gain but I don't like having to fight an amp. Some of my favorite players use the Shiva and get plenty of gain out of it (Justin Derrico for example) Who knows, maybe both amps were in need of a retube.![]()

I think Derrico uses an Ego Compressor before the amp? Not quite sure why he uses a compressor and not a regular OD...?
