I’ve had this for a couple weeks, but been super busy over the holidays.

Honestly I don’t do this very often but this amp deserves one.

First thanks to Blake for shipping it up North, much appreciated. Second, thanks to Jeremy for making such a killer amp. Also all info about it as we’ve chatted via PM.

Feels like one of the highest quality builds I’ve played. Tbh makes my bogner and Marshall feel cheap when messing with the dials.

Sound wise there’s not much to say about this, but that it’s top of the heap for high gain tones of what I’ve played. Right up there with my Hermansson’s for fast tight and heavy metal riffing. Also the Master is super useful and when you open it up and it’s punchy AF. Sounds huge, rich and tight. His discription is spot on as a “Markshall”. American lows and mids, and that British feel, upper harmonics. It’s what I’ve been looking for modern metal.

Feature wise it’s extremely versatile, but not useless versatile where you are confused by the extra knobs. The Aura, NFB, gain types and tight switches one the back are game changers. Excels with all tunings, drop tunings, 7’s and 8 strings, which is important to me. Plug in a Les Paul and it’s hard rock heaven.







TLDRthese are great buy one for real. You will regret it if you don’t and we’re out there enjoying these

Right on man! I'm only hours into mine, just arrived late afternoon, and I have to say it's impressing the shit out of me, and I have a pile of top tier amps right now to compare it to. Gonna of course spend ample quality time with it, but right off the bat I can say it may have the best master and low volume tones of any amp out there, and the features are extremely useful & have major effect. More to come.
 
Thanks so much for the great review. Makes my day knowing that the amp works so well for you!
