Re: The first amp designed specifically for pedals?

i do think it sounds good, and i'm sure since it's carl martin it's built well.  just not sure what sets it apart from other amps.

if you can't hear that your directional cable is plugged in backwards then you obviously shouldn't be wasting money on things you can't appreciate. you don't buy paintings for a blind man

Needs motorized knobs with presets.
WARNING: TC Electronics Pedals Are NOT REPAIRABLE. Instead of fixing my switch they wanted to charge me $72 plus shipping on a $99 pedal to replace all electronics, when only the switch was defective. This is their blanket repair policy on ALL repairs. They have no replacement switches. The switch is on the board so substituting a different switch can't work. Do not buy pedals from companies that cannot repair their own switches.

lol I'd like to get some of the people who think they can hear "directional cables" into a double-blind listening test and LMHO.

Re: The first amp designed specifically for pedals?

sorry honk (as though you made it). cool idea but terrible price. if you could afford a $3600 amp, couldn't you just buy an amp with great cleans AND dirt? as if they were mutually exclusive

Re: The first amp designed specifically for pedals?

i've only seen three minutes of the video though, so maybe there's more to it. lefort mentioned some stuff that would actually be pretty cool for a "for pedals" amp, all things aside

Doesn't really blow me away. My bassman does quite well with pedals anyway.

Sounds nice enough in that demo but V30s? Really? That's a very niche tonality and response.
