Jens is good shit. He had a modded Engl fireball for sale not long ago. Thing sounded killer and was only $999
 
I was thinking of either the modded 50w or the combo.
How does the 50w head sound at bedroom levels as I am downsizing a bit.

The variac watts I listed earlier were wrong; here are the right numbers
50-25-15-7-3

This really works well for low volume playing/bedroom amp showtime.
Going with lower wattage on ch1 with the gain cranked really has an awesome kerrang to the tone, like a modern Led Zeppelin


It's been a few months, so now the honeymoon OMG phase has passed. The bottom line is it is a fantastic amp- big diverse tones in a small package. Super fun feel, really inspiring to play. I spend most of my time on Blue; at band rehearsals I do NOT use a clean OD boost on most material (very rare for me). The separate gain control on green allow me to get crystal clean on gritty breakup which I like a lot. Jens has an especially great ear for clean channels IMO (The Jens-DMoll ch1 is unbelievable as well).

I have a bunch of clips I should have posted as promised, oops!
Here's a more mellow one in 360VR that hangs on BLUE the whole song; gain at about 12 oclock-ish
I'm using my trusty Peavey HP with Blackhawks
I used a TNL torpedo, likely an Orange 4x12closed IR(?)
