[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1414055833' post='2585178']Using this I have discovered what an incredibly versatile amp these RB's are. FUzzy OD they won't do (pedals add that for me), but a more old school "valvely fatness" (perfect for motown) they will, along with a lot of other more contemporary clanky, clean and other tones.
People seem to be obsessed about saying how they sound like DUff McKagan's sound. And, yes they can do, but also so much more.

I completely agree with how versatile the 700RB-II is. A lot of people associate them with known users (Flea, Duff etc), but they can cover just about everything. I can go from bright clean to a great overdriven, almost valve tone. They take a bit of getting used to but once you know your way around the front panel, they are great. As usual, cabs play a big part too. Just for reference, I believe flat EQ is about Treble 11, Hi Mid 1, Low Mid 1, Bass 11 and the contour will drastically cut all mids.
