I don't like how they call it a tube amp.

Parts of it remind me of a Genz Benz Shuttlemax.

Parts of it remind me of a Genz Benz Shuttlemax.

Which means I would LOVE it! Its seems like a StreamlinerMax concept

I just bought this amp and it's killer!

I want sound demos!!!!

Premier Guitar did a review of this amp and they included demos: Invalid Link Removed

I also just recently uploaded a bass cover using this amp, mind you I am running the MXR bass DI in front of it, which is colouring the sound:

Unlike the Genz Benz you cant blend the two preamps without doing some weird patching arrangement, they are two separate independent channels

Apologies... this is a late question - can you run this amp with just one cab plugged into say channel A output? How would you then switch between chan A or B inputs so that you always get sound from chan A output? What I mean is instead of using the bridged output... that can only go down to 8 ohms.
