Ok, not only did I try this amp out, I ended up bringing one home with me!
I actually went out and picked up TG magazine when I heard there was a review of them in there. To be fair, the article is pretty accurate. I chose the Revolution head. I've tried various new amps lately and none of them really stood out of the pack to me. When I plugged this sucker in, I knew I was onto something. It's not as high gain as I'd have thought, I mean there's plenty, but the shredders amongst you may feel the need to push it a little further. I'm gonna stick my SD-1 up front and give that a try.
For such a simple layout, the amp is really versatile at giving you different sounds. The Sweep control emphasizes either low end or high end eq's with everything inbetween. Vintage, modern tones are all in there with a bit of carefull tweaking. It's a very defined tone too, each string is clear and crisp, even when the gain is maxxed. Really tight, foccused bottom end too. Great for detuned riffage!! There are boutique amps out there at twice the cost (Iv'e owned Soldano/Mesa to name a couple) and this thing makes 'em sound like toys.
Get out there and try one!
