I see @Merton is spending other people's money again.😁

He played a part in me getting my Monza too, which still knocks my socks off every time I use it, as he tried one at a BassBash a little while back, the one when he convinced you to buy that Trace amp.

You think, at the very least he would chip in!

Not posted on here for a wee while now but i've been using my WB-100 for best part of this year so far and i'm loving the tone with my Sandberg VM4 thru both my Mesa SW210/115 rig and now with the Barefaced 212 cab i bought few mths back.

It was originally bought as a stop gap until i managed to get my Mesa TT800 amp but tried the WB-100 again early this year and realised i just love a full valve amp. 

One of the reasons i stopped using it was that i was getting a bit more distortion than expected and found the overall volume was limited because of it. What i found was that it was my pick up height that was the issue on the VM4. I dropped it a touch and the level of distortion appears to have almost gone completely except when really digging in. This allowed me to get the WB-100 gain up at a bit more and the overall volume is now more than adequate even for larger 200 seat capacity venues with no PA support.

At the moment with the BF 212 my settings are :-

Gain @ 11-1 depending on how i feel on the night.

Bass @ 11

Mid @ 2-3

Treble @ 11-1 

Master @ 11 - 1
