Hey all, I don't know what's going on. When I first got this amp, I was generally unimpressed. However, $200 for an all-tube 30W combo wasn't bad, so I didn't complain. About two months ago I changed the tubes out for a combo of Sovtek 12AX7 LPS and Electro-Harmonix 12AX7 EH, played it for an hour or so, then went back to my POD.
Anyway, lately, I've been playing my strat with Lace Holy Grails through it regularly, and I have to say it sounds totally awesome. The clean channel is nice and clean, but still sounds very tube juicy, and the distortion channel sounds better than ever to me. I've played through lots of tube amps in my time, and this is right up there with many fenders I've played through. Okay, maybe not the 66 Super Reverb, but you get my point...
Anyone else had a similar "burn-in" experience, where an amp just started sounding good to you after a few months?
Is this a question? Not really. I'm just stoked. Maybe later in the week I'll post some sound clips, if anyone's interested.
