and....the eagle has landed! (I called it! Two working weeks shipping on the nose. Delivery came while I was on a work call. Wife and daughter were running all over looking for my credit card, damn GST, while I'm trying to lead a procedure review. :)
Packaging was ridonculous. (Anyone want a sweet deal on 8 sq feet of packing peanuts?)
Installed the tubes and tried it out briefly. Yes, that Premier warm, slight sustain and sag was right there. Sweet. Responds well to the Prince of Darkeness (AKAI ADM-8) and my pedal train (HC,Echo Park,Sonic Maximizer). I'll cut a vid comparing it to the Electro with different mics and pedals in or out.
Thanks, Dave...happy camper here (with early birthday present...or at least that's my story to the family.)
Quick demo (medium volume, should have cranked it a bit more) Straight mic channel, instrument channel bridged to mic, add tremelo, no tremelo, pedals to bridged instrument channel
