So I finally turned it up passed volume 1 with all the tube problems I had worked out. And this thing can take your head off! I havn't played THAT many amps but I honestly cant imagine anything more brutal than this (except for maybe a 5150 boosted with a 5150 and a maxon808). Drop D palm mutes just gave me a huge grin that lasted atleast 30 mins.
I have JJ 6L6s in it and a tung sol in v1 and man what a difference from before. (My favorite tube the Ei went microphonic though ) also the only guitar cable I had in my apartment was bad... . But with all that sorted out this thing is rediculous. Its the same wattage as my recto but it seems 2x louder. It sounds somewhere between a mark iv and a recto, the thickness of the recto but super tight and does not need a boost. Leads are good - they were better with the ei though . Turning the dampining knob from zero to like 3/4 up is like michael angio batio dropping down from the ceiling with four guitars and slicing your face open. Its the coolest knob on the amp imo .
I forgot to bring headphones home so any recordings I make will sound pretty bad (sorry james) - but I will try anyway in the next few days. I bought a new pickup for my guitar thinking that it would make my setup tighter, but I think any tighter an the notes would cease to exist
