The guitar demos are brilliant. If it can double with bass then I am mightily interested

Well it's been delivered but not sure when I'll get to fire it up

Cool, well let us know when you get the chance!

What cab will you be running it through? Think you mentioned a 1x15 further up...

It's a bit narrow though compared to the amp :lol:

I won't lie- I'm on tenterhooks! :blink:

How is the quality of the finish? I can't work out whether I dig the colour scheme or not, and part of me wonders about stripping and painting the box black. I'd have to be convinced I was keeping it though, as that would probably render it unsellable!

It's okay for the money. I'll take some pics. It's not top notch but let's not forget the price point

Our guitarist has a Bugera head and has put it through the it's paces in drop B for years now, it is a good amp, well built, 100% reliable. It's not the model you have there but his has plenty of bottom end so I don't see you being disappointed. As for the overhang on the cab who cares, I ordered a Matamp gt200 on Monday and I couldn't give a monkeys if it crushes my cab, it'll sound good while it does it. 😁

Eek! My palms are sweating as I look at that - make it go away, or at least turn the cab on its side!

Okay to sounds

Had a quick 15 minute noodle with it. Volume on the back on 1. Glassy über clean this ain't going to be. Using the four inputs you can elicit a huge variety of tones. Some more aggressive and mid range heavy, others baddy and vintage.
This breaks up earlier than my orange AD200b did but not much. Think the poweramp tubes add distortion too.
I like that I can just out a noisy in front and get killer OD.

Practice tomorrow so let's see how it sits in a mix

Okay so at the start of practice was thinking if didn't have the volume BUT turning the gain up to 5 and the volume down on the back to 1 I was too loud for practice!

No loss of bass, plenty on tap. I used the top right input Fir channel 2 dimed the mids, cut the treble and I was rocking. On 4 on the gain there wasn't a huge amount of breakup.

All in all really pleased and the trouser slapping bass was lovely in the mix.
