Hi to everyone !
Got a Steavens poundcake not so long ago and it is a wonderful amp. I didn't know these Steavens' amp at first, but when I tried it OMG
Here is the sound with a cellphone

A Poundcake is one of those amps I´ve always had a soft spot for, but never pulled the trigger on. Tried one way back when, and loved the tones.

I have one too. Its a crazy versatile amp and the Lead Sound has this creamy mids, which is great for soloing. BUT its not a modern amp with much low frequencies. Its somehow in a marshall ballpark. But from Clean to Mean you have great versatility with all the Boost and Midfrequency Switches.

too bad you never pulled the trigger on. Maybe one day who knows ?

Yes I agree with that. Mine is a 6L6 version, and maybe it is more comfortable on the modern stuffs than the EL34 version. But it is very "mashally"
indeed, close to a soldano kind of voicing IMO

Great sounding amp, even with it being an iPhone clip!

I wish I'd kept mine, these are one of the most underrated amps in the world...

Thanks a lot, mate !
Your Bogner Shiva seems too be very tasty too Or maybe it is a Splawn, plexi-like ? The design looks like a shiva.

Too bad you sold it. And I totally agree, they are obviously underrated.
I never met Bernard Steavens but he seems to be a nice fella, as everybody says.

Thanks dude ! And yes, that's a CE 22. I love that guitar, even if I'm solding it. Guitars are just like women : past a few years, you wanna change for another
I see you have a PRS too. What model ?

I have a brick preamp, 4 channels. Very marshally ....

Man I'd love to try one of these. I heard that the radioactivator is awesome too.

Goddammit, there's one on eBay right now. Even if I don't have a need for it,
it's really seductive ...
