They sound good for metal. Rock tone is pretty dull. Just sounds like another high gain amp with the knob turned down lol. Not feeling the $1500 deposit. I reckon if you don't have it in stock ready to ship and i can just buy it, I'm not interested. Or if it's back ordered you charge me when it ships. The business model of we build it once we get a large deposit doesn't work for me in guitar amps or guitars (unless it's a custom departure from regular models).

who are the builders? Michigan....huh

Cautiously optimistic about this. Saw a few videos and it sounded awesome but I've heard they had some trouble delivering on any of their product except endorsers. Hopefully they have the back end sorted or those issues were move related.

That's interesting. Their prices are a little inflated as well.

This....


The metal tone actually sounded amazing to me, something I would definitely not be disappointed to use. I thought the rock tone was pretty decent. I mean I guess it was not the best I have heard but it wasn't bad.

The thing that gets me is they boast about how awesome the cleans are but do not showcase them

I would be interested in hearing a very good demo of the cleans and "rock" tones however their website is horrible (as long as the amp is good I guess) but I am not big into paying a deposit for something like that.

It happens a lot I suppose and there are builders I would trust I guess if I had the money to do something like that but I am cheap, have to buy gear wisely and would rather have this amp at $1,500 used

The metal channel in the clip sounded great though and the amp looks really nice cosmetically.

Missed a good chance to name an amp company Ohmega.
