Right, a short review as i didn't have much time before practice to mess about with it....
EG5 - It seemed a little dark to me, but i didn't try it out in a band situation so i'm going to wait til next time to give it a fair innings
SL2 - WOW!! I set up channel A to be a nice warm clean sound just so i could mess about without deafening anyone really (i should really just use my volume pot) Channel B is where it really came alive! Those indoor storm demos do not do this amp justice! A friend came along who uses a jcm 800 and swears by everything that comes out of it, after hearing this, he's saving up for one. That classic marshall roar with as much gain as you like. I only had the gain on about 1 o'clock.
ERECT - Again WOW WOW!! I had a dual rectifier once and didn't like it, it was too harsh sounding to me, i found that the mids were really ear piercing and the overdrive was a tad fizzy. Anyway, everything i hated about it had been smoothed out. Liquid mesa style gain, saturation heaven!! I set channel A up to be a 'crunch' and channel B, full on overdrive!!
I set everything to 12 o'clock at first (except gain and volume), and this amp still sounds killer! Everything had moved +/- 1 by the end.
Couldn't be happier
Buy one!
EG5 mini review coming next week
