Trolls be dammed. Carry on my wayward son!
I mean really, 40 pages of BS, maybe one or two pages of useful stuff. We should start this thread over... any way, so far, bypassing the para EQ, starting simple, it's got some balls going thru my Bergantino HDN212 4 ohm cab, love the amp dampening, getting close to an all tube amp.
Dampening is not something most want to happen to their bass cabinet*. Control over damping factor, on the other hand, can be quite useful.

I’m diggin the damping, never seen it on an amp before, expect other will as well. yMMV!
Blah Blah Blah...He is Uriah Duffy and he KILLS through any amp!The fact that he is Demo-ing that WD800 and the Subway cabs is just icing on the cake and makes me want them even more!
Nice slapping in there

For your impression of the damping feature, does it impact tone or feel more? Have you tried any different cabinets yet?
One hit single, with a brief slap lick, a handful of album cuts from a band that haven't had a big single in a decade, and a niche genre...
I'm not saying that nobody ever plays slap (or muted), but just that it's everyday use in the majority of music, played by the majority of bassists, is inversely proportional to the amount of time devoted to it in music stores, and demo videos.
This wasn't about who likes slap / muting etc, it was just about product demo's, demonstrating the product effectively to a wide audience, rather than a niche.
I'd say both...this berg cab is neutral with other heads, and with this head more articulate on high, like a 210 instead of a 212, more like a 115 on low, looser and fatter. So prob more feel with a dose of tone too. But I'm still on bypass and kinda old school, and lovin it so far!

Guitar solos are dead too, but you wouldn't know it from Guitar Center.
Reminds of a joke, two P's and a mesa walk into a bar....
My kinda rig, well played sir
Does the red bypass light come on if the PEQ is set flat?
Edit: Oh I see you already have the footswitch. Didn’t know it was available yet.
Ordered mine from Mesa Hollywood and it is arriving Monday. They’re already on their second shipment and they have them in stock!

As did I - the 2-12 is my birthday/Xmas/New Year/Labor Day/(insert favorite holiday here)/anniversary present rolled into one. Mine is supposed to arrive Monday, as well. Too bad I have no gig until New Years Eve...
