So finally got this thing....
and its a monster!!!!!!
Played around with it for about 2 hours now, and it definitely sounds the best infront of an amp... although it has the Cab Simulated output, and it sounds fine using it straight into the mixing board, i found that the sound is a bit too hollow and lacks "balls" so to say. So running straight into the clean channel of the amp gave me the best results so far.
Gain... this thing is all about the gain. And it delivers that sooooo well... its not fuzzy like some of the stomp boxes i heard, and definitely has that tube amp feel to it, the distortion is very smooth and kinda loose(think mesa double recto sound)
The ISF feature is fun to play with, at 0 the distortion gets an American voicing, at 10 it gets british voicing... and you can go anywhere in between. Changes in Mids and Bass are awesome when playing with that.
I also noticed that its like impossible to make this thing sound bad, whatever you do, it still sound good. I still need to mess around with settings to get "my" sound, but i think im getting close.
So without further delay, here is 2 demo sounds i recorded.
Set up:
For Enter Sandman :Ibanez>Blackstar>Peavey bandit 112(80's model)>recorded with M-Audio condenser mic
For After life i just changed the guitar to the ESP
