Members Boris the Blade Posted February 17, 2008 Members Share Posted February 17, 2008 I've had it for a couple weeks already. First off, the amp has a crazy amount of bass. I keep it on zero. Even with it on zero, on Input II, it still has a lot of low end, but it gets more tolerable as you crank it. I have also noticed that the bright channel is a little louder than the normal channel. So far I prefer the bright channel, but I do enjoy channel 2. I really dig the clean sound though. On the bright channel, the map breaks up pretty early, at about 2. On the normal channel, it takes a bit more. Both channels take pedals extremely well, especially the normal channel. I have finally been able to tolerate how loud the amp gets, so I pretty much crank it all the time. The distortion is a very raunchy, raw distortion. When you get up to volume 7 on either channel with a boost, you can easily play metal, though I think it sounds a bit too "stiff" for metal. Thats just my opinion though... There are a bunch of metal bands that use non master marshalls, so... With the volume dimed, it sounds sick. I love start out from low volume, to slowly cranking it. I love how as it gets louder, it gets dirtier and dirtier. My room isn't that big, so the volume is insane, but I can tolerate it, even though I probably shouldnt stand there in front of my cab blasting it. But I do anyways. One thing I do wish it had was EL34's instead of 6550's. My Splawn already has KT88's. As for how long I will keep the amp, I don't know. I think I will either keep it, or maybe in the long run sell it. Because I still play my Splawn more than any of my other amps. I will probably keep it as the prices on Super Basses are going up. thx for reading. Questions? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theAntihero Posted February 17, 2008 Members Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hmm, does it have as much bass response as a RedBear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Boris the Blade Posted February 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2008 I personally think so. On my red bear I keep the bass on 3.5 any more than that and its obnoxious bass. I keep the bass on the super bass on 0 and on the normal channel it still has too much, until you really crank it and it kind of "evens" it out if that makes any sense.

Thats where i run it too, and even then if i crank it i have to turn the bass down or risk killing small mammals in the area. Now i want a SuperBass.... Is yours an original or a Ceriatone or???
