Okay, so I got this yesterday from ClintN667. Pretty killer amp for sure. Really easy to dial in a tone I totally dig. Lot's of gain on this thing if I need it. I usually don't and running it between 10 O'clock to Noon is plenty for me even with my low output hum buckers. If you're not familiar with this particular amp, it's built on a Ceriatone 2204 build with Classic Tone transformers and a Metro loop. It' has a "Blood" toggle as well as a "Black Sun" toggle and adjustment pot both on the back. Pushing in the gain knob engages a bright cap. Sounds killer in the room and the volume taper doesn't have any sudden surprises like some amps. Here is a quickie video. I only played with the gain knob and the volume knob on my guitar. Used a TC Alter Ego in the loop. For some reason my DOD Rubberneck just doesn't work right with the Metro loop. I'll look into that more though. I used my First Act with a GM 59'r pickup straight into the amp. SM57 on a Sheffield 1200 speaker loaded in a Emperor 4x12. Mic goes into an iRig Pre HD and straight into my iPhone. Zero eq or processing as usual.
I'll do another video later today and play with some of the tone knobs.
