This amp kills. Work on modding amps all you want this amp out of the box does what we all are trying to have other amps do. The price is really great, I don't have to spend 3K to get 3 channels. This amp really really sounds polished and final!

The blue channel is pure VH and does a rhythm tone that is cutting and with just the right amount of gain to give you the confidence you need but not compressed. Wide open and cuts!

The red channel is really thick, big and alive! It's very gainy and yet stays articulate. If you don't push the gain knob past 1, the compression stays away! Drop d really sounds thick, middy and just fun to play!

I don't care if its made in Mexico, I will take it over china! I would also take it if it was made in the US but the only way that will happen is at $3500! No thanks I will keep this one!
 
Awesome!!

Now you better bring that to the amp fest in 2011!! ;)

Is your Scorch amp going to be done by then?
I know you have the module going on....some guys were wondering about the Full amp version.

We started this years at 4pm.....I had to work that morning...
but next year I want to start it about noon. This way nothing or anyone feels rushed and we all have a chance to play everything and check it out at a leisurely schedule.
I have a full band set up at my place so everyone can let us all know what songs you want to play and we can learn them. Really is a blast! :rock:

I agree with you. Fantastic amp right out of the box. Could care less where it's made. I loved it so much I bought 2. Leave one at home and one at our rehearsal studio.

It's about 1 1/2 hours north of me and I'm 3 hours north of you. So like 4 1/2 hours from you.
