Finally! A little over 7 months waiting for this doom machine. Thoughts and a clip or two to follow.

Coolest looking amps. It’s not a sound I’m going for as much lately but they just look so badass.

> questionable resale in the U.S.

My GT1 sold wicked fast and easy. There's a pretty big "doom lawyer" market for these things. Was a really cool amp, just overlapped with a few other things I had. They look cool as hell though and I kinda liked just seeing it over there after wanting one for like half my life.

This is pretty much my take. Their combination of rarity and quality help them hold their resale value well.

While their market is not as huge as say the Dual Rectifier or 5150 crowd, their unique tone means for the people that want that sound nothing outside of a vintage Orange, vintage Matamp, or new Matamp will fit the bill.

Congrats! I love my GT150. One of the few amps whose clean tone is so huge I don't miss reverb.

The GT150 is a single channel model, and I have used the amps own gain at times finding it quite good for all things short of tight brutal metal tones. But for flexibility I prefer setting it as a clean amp, and using a treble booster, OD, fuzz, or distortion pedal for my dirty tones. It gobbles up drive pedals like John Pinette at a Chinese Buffet. The one exception was my RAT. The RAT's filter did not play nice with the EQ section. Not sure if it was the Depth knob, or Baxandall EQ section, but it neutered the amp.

Totally guessing but maybe the Rat’s and amp’s impedance’s don’t jive well?
