I got a Masotti X100m classic and it totally rules!! Its 3 channels and all three are great, wonderful cleans, the crunch channel roars well and can clean up nicely as well. The lead channel is probably the star of the show. It can get very tight and articulate or creamy and smooth for leads with amazing amounts of touch sensitivity while retaining clarity and can still cut through a mix. For those of you that don't know, it I an Italian boutique amp maker. They make some great stuff, but the x100m is just killer! They make an X100m Classic, Modern, or Custom. The Classic is like their British type tones, and sounds great. Both channels have a bright switch that gives it great sparkle, and the presence and depth controls on the rear really add a lot of versatility to the amp, I noticed no matter where they are set the amp sounds great. I am very, very happy with this amp.

here is a demo of the amp I got by some Italian dude, this is just the tip of the iceberg, the amp does a hell of a lot more than this demo shows.

Masotti also started a new handwired series, this is Doug E Rapps playing on sounding great as usual!

here is another Italian guy playing an x100 classic, but it has a couple masters added so it is technically a custom.

what do you guys think of the demos, you like what you are hearing? if any of you are in the san fran bay area, let me know if you want to check this amp out!!!

-the amp in the pic is not mine, but it looks exactly like it.
 
Congrats!
I use a Modern with 5881 for years now.
Is a classic/modern sounding amp, and work great with Greenbacks!
The most of the the demo on youtube are with GB speakers.
 
Cool...congrats on the new amp. Hey, did you ever sell your Gower Rockmonster?

my cab has 4 x celestion 70th anniv's and it sounds great, maybe I will throw in a couple greenbacks sometime soon and see how it sounds with 2 greenbacks and 2 70th anniv's.

I would imagine you love your Masotti seeing as you have had it for years. The modern x100m with 5881's must be cool. Mine has 4 Mullard el34's and it is KILLER!!
 
anyone else played one of these or any amps made by Masotti?
