![]() It's quite noisy, which would stop this from being a total 5 star amp hiss issues are well documented online and classes as 'foibles' of the Valvetronix range. ![]() My socks are gone though, so I must be doing something right! I have been rocking out, although I think my face is still there *prod prod*. I'm going to test the headphones later, and then my metal muff pedal, although I doubt I'll be getting much use out of that through here. ![]() Thanks guys, I've sure been having fun the last couple of days. Here's one last picture, guitar for scale! It's a shame it's such a dull rainy day today, my pictures are a bit off. In short, very fine amp for practice and bedroom playing. The amp responds very well to picking dynamics and changing distortion through guitar volume. Sometimes the EQ knobs seem a bit unrepsonsive in comparision, but I haven't ever found them to be lacking, and they probably respond better at a higher volume. The controls are quite wide and going from low to high on the gain and volume knobs makes a huge difference in dirt level. The effects are good too, although I rarely use more than a bit of chorus and reverb. It's got dark, loose distortion and tight, trebly distortion as well as satisfying crunches (my favourite being the Night Train model) and a selection of warm and jangly cleans. I've spent quite some time trying to find an amp with distortion that's to my taste and this one really hits the nail on the head. How does it sound? Tasty! I won't go too much into it, I lack the experience to really compare to other amps, but I can say that I personally love it. It's a fair amount larger than my Peavey even though it also has an 8" speaker and it doesn't fit in my amp storage nook! Oh well, minor concerns. On the back there isn't much, just the power switch, power socket and an input for an optional footswitch.
