The wife is gone for the night and I'm snowed in... so I've been breaking in my 50w

I wish I could do the amp justice... I love this amp!

gutpile, sounds really nice man!

In the Bring it on Home clip, I hear you step on something when you transition from clean to dirty. What is it? And do you have the amp set clean and are using a pedal for overdriven tones?

no pedals straight into the amp... what you hear is me flipping the toggle switch to the neck pickup.. all clean and dirty sounds are controlled with my volume knobs and tone settings... I am playing a LP Standard with Skatterbrane PUPS and upgraded with an RS Kit... thanks for listening!!!

sounds killer!

which speakers did you use?

Speakers are Celestion Heritage G12M 20w Greenback reissues... I had the standard 75w speakers in there and heard a huge difference when I swapped them out! thanks again for the replies...

Mike, what was the volume at in the clips? The amp sounded a little mild on the gain end of things...well, at least in comparison with George's clip.

Hey Nitro.... Channel 1 was set at about 7.5 and attenuated @ -8db on the hot plate... I just installed vintage Sozo's a couple of days ago and I don't think they are quite broken in yet, (about 20hrs on them)... when dimed I do get all the gain I need though there is not as much gain as my 100w... I think some of that may be the new caps???

Could be the attenuator being set to -8, as well. Neighbors just need to understand that we need to crank these things!

Amps sounds great, it'll smooth out and gain up a little once your amp breaks in mostly the Sozo tone caps, but you already know that!

Killer tone!
