    Thats the problem, Microtubes circuits have a reputation of just being for aggressive sounds and styles. Reality is, even the B*K circuit can sound warm and gritty if you use it right. The Vintage circuit though, it was primarily designed to get tones like you describe, but again people tend to demo its more aggressive nature.

    That's what I was thinking/hoping! Thanks.

    Can you get these things smooth, velvety and furry like a B15 at optimum volume or are they always 'metalised' when you engage the microtubes? Darkglass seem to attract aggressive players who want a sound with attitude on most videos I see.

    I had a Stealth 4 string & sold it quite quickly, there was a harshness in the mid-range that I just couldn't e.q. out. It came to dominate everything to my ears. I subsequently bought a Streamline & that thing killed from day one, in fact I would say it is the best Status model I've played. Stupidly sold it to Outtoplayjazz of this parish & have regretted it ever since.

    I'd echo this. it's a long time ago since I had a Stealth but it was just too brittle/harsh. I was expecting the same when I played a Streamline but it was a a lot warmer. It sounds better than an S2 to me.

    Bear in mind Rob might have tweaked the Stealth preamp since then.

    SOLD please remove.

    Up for sale is my Genz Benz Streamliner 900 head. I acquired this as part of another deal but I'm not looking for another amp just now. It is in good condition and works perfectly. It also has brand new blue LEDs fitted, thanks to Andy at Mesa for pointing me in the right direction.

    Has anyone compared a BF BB2 with a Vanderkley 115MN6?

    Off topic, but jees, this Ashdown combo unfortunately keeps with the generalisation of 'wooliness'. Loud, bassey, but not enough clarity at all. Barely any sparkle, Massive mid dip when flat I think.

    You may know this... if it's an ABM model the default setting is mid-scooped. In order to get all the mids back you need to press the shape button near the gain knob. It's kinda weird and opposite to most other manufacturers in that 'in' is flat and 'out' applies the mid-scoop!

    I wish more amps didn't have fans. Fan noise annoys me so much.

    Tecamp, Demeter and PJB manage it.

    Fan noise annoys me too. I've let a few amps go for that reason. I don't even notice it on the Subway. VERY quiet.
