I've had another 15 mins playing rather than having any lunch.
It sounds huge. I've cut the mids a bit and then used the VMT for a bit of grit. Wonderful sound!
Mine is here
I've had a 5 minute blast.
First impressions are very good.
It's loud and clear. The drive section is excellent - I might even prefer it to my pedal versions. There is some fan noise but it is quieter than my PC (admittedly a gaming PC with fecking huge fans and water cooling etc).
The only tiny negative is that one of the knobs is a tiny bit damaged - like it's been pushed onto the shaft a bit hard. I've sent Doug a message so hopefully I get get a new knob (oo-er).
I'm playing a lot of Stevie Wonder / Sinatra / Big Band at the moment and I'm using a pair of Barefaced One10 cabs.
1 for rehearsal and 2 for the show (sorry!)
The One10 seems to have a more old fashioned tone than some of the neo designs that push the mids a bit too much for me. I sold a pair of Bergantino CN112 cabs to get the One10s and I'm very happy I did.
That would be awesome.
I have a rehearsal on Sat morning. If it arrives in time I'll use it.
I have Sinatra, Eagles, Oasis, and some as yet unknown jazz to play. VMT or B3K setting? Mmmmmm
All songs are improved with my bass sound.
Ok. Most.
Ok, some.
Ah feck it. I like my tone. I alter attack and clank with my fingers. I never change pickup settings at a gig. Once it sounds good for the room I leave it. FX on top if needed.
It's nothing to be upset about.
Music can be an academic subject for ones own personal pleasure and intellectual curiosity. Does not have to be for performance.
I own a rugby ball and don't play the game anymore either.
Yes please.
My understanding of what I'm playing improved massively with a bit of theory.
Lovely to be able to sight read a bit too. No more searching for tab not drafted by a muppet.
I'm not convinced. Unless the use of the Preamp Out re-activates the Master Volume,
I've asked the question on Facebook - I'll post the reply when I get it.
I've ordered one anyway. I discovered I had some Andertons points to knock another £13 off!
I've been looking at the manual.
I had assumed the Pre Out / Power Amp in could be used as an FX loop. But the manual says when the Power Amp in is used the Master volume is disabled.
So really it can't be used as an FX loop, and that might cause issues with 4CM too, depending on what the outboard gear is.

Andertons still quite a bit cheaper than everyone else then, so far.
