I have to conced on this point. all the amps at the store come with stock tubes that basically have less than 5 hours of wear and come with factory bias. that could have a lot to do with it. I suggested at a staff meeting that we let the new amps coming into the store "burn in" over the first night. the boss was against it, and so the amps all sound less good than they couldDeadwrong said:I love mine (head version)! It was cold, but its mandatory to have a bias mod done to it to warm it up and it absolutely kills anything out there. Crushing tone for metal.

I agree with your boss. If you're not going to bias the amps, "burning in the tubes" won't make much difference. There's a slight change in sound but not nearly as much as biasing the amps properly.Yerffej said:I suggested at a staff meeting that we let the new amps coming into the store "burn in" over the first night. the boss was against it, and so the amps all sound less good than they could
I agree, this amp doesnt really breathe unless its cranked...There is a reason why so many metal bands use these.SCREEM said:here is a quote from another forum about this amp:
