Got a few hours on the amp build now. Will have a full review out soon with lots of sound samples, pictures and some bench tests!


Here's a tune that uses it on lead and steel guitar:

Greg, nice clean work on the amp. You gotta be proud when first fired up. I'm checking the samples now. Too cool. Post some more as you dial it in.

Greg, nice build.

Do you like the raw control and master volume?

I don't like the raw control or this type of master volume.

But I do like the tone pot on the reverb.

The Master Volume control works awesome. Ignoring the arguments about how it was implemented, it easily turns this amp into the sound of a low power Fender Champ with the proper balance of volume and Master volume controls. The Raw control completely transforms the sound of this amp and allows for even more gain. These controls allow you to achieve a very precise level of distortion either in the preamp section or in the power amp section. Again the Raw control is a very simple addition to the the tone stack the way it is implemented. But the resulting tonal palette is amazing.
