It is incredibly awesome for the price, and through the right cab you can get some fantastic modern high gain sounds. I too love Opeth, (best metal band), and believe me, you can't go wrong with this amp!

eek. now i have 2 amps to ponder over, both roughly the same price. the best thing about the TT is that you can crank it at low volumes to get more valve tone and breakup, therefore a bit more gain. the Valveking already has those high gain tones without the cranking though.
the TT is VERY portable. that is another huge selling point. the 7/15 watt switch is also killer, and now, i have found out it has enough gain. the tone knob is really simple, and i like it that way. so, there is nothing wrong with the TT. at all. or the Valveking.
the Valveking also has lead boosts (for volume and/or gain) on the lead channel, and it has a texture control which is apparently REALLY good.

which amp should i go for? i would only need the volume of a TT, so that's not a problem.
OPETH ARE THE BEST METAL BAND!!!!! yes!!! someone who finally knows!!!

help! i knew this would happen...

yeah i know, it's just these days, the mainstream takes over. they're working on a new album atm :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: GR was good enough, but the next one could be a step even further forward..... i'm looking forward to it a lot.

on a more on topic note, RECOMMEND ME AN AMP DAMNIT! :P

checked out the reviews on the VK and it's a really mixed bag - the combos coming under fire because of poor quality control.
The TT looks a bit twee to me and won't serve you as long as the VK (assuming yours doesn't have parts missing) because as you gain success you'll need a bigger rig. Try the VK head and, if it is to your liking, buy it.
Buy it from a shop as then you can't receive one that is poorly made.

haha forgot about that DVD! yeah, that would be great! i really enjoyed Lamentations, but it was lacking GR songs (obviously!) but now that they've recorded one after GR, we should see some heavy moshage. i was on that tour, at Exeter...... it was amazing!!! they played all of their classics, but it would have been perfect with The Baying of the Hounds.

i found some high gain clippage of the TT:

i'm sorry, but there are NO bad reviews for the HEAD. the combos sound like shitee, but the head sounds perfect.
what is "twee" slang for? sorry, i'm not sure about that one..... and the TT sounds like good quality if that's what you mean. not many breakdowns reported....
