Man the thing does sing! I have an older special one-off Rockmod !!+c that smokes, but the new one is really a step up all the way around. I got to play on it for about 20 minutes. Used a Les Paul and a Fender semi-hollow Strat like guitar.

 

The Clean channel can get you into that Matchless/Badcat area. Sheer brilliance and presence. There's an option to boost it and adjust the clean gain and it gets you right into Blackface Deluxe or Dr. Z area. Just a slight hint of breakup while retaining clarity.

 

The Crunch channel is tight! Again everything retained clarity and definition Really has that classic Marshall type tone, but not so over the top. Lot's of sizzle... Pure Rock n Roll!

 

The Burn Channel is like a Stun-Gun of Gain! No matter how much gain I added, it still held up on the definition. I had it cranked pretty loud. Singing sustain for days. Even when I rolled back the volume pots on the guitar it still was real responsive and the amp cleaned up real nice and don't lose part of the tone, because the amp wasn't getting hit hard on source input.

 

These aren't just high gain preamps, but really an ultra versatile tool. You could use it from anything from Country to Alt-Metal with no isses I believe. If you haven't seen them yet, here is their link... http://www.kashaamplifiers.com

 

Oh... And they are shipping now!

the Kasha looks ,in features, quite similar to my Soho Acoustics QTR-1 4 channel preamp, i was looking into getting the Kasha before i got this,but the price was too much, i picked up the Soho Acoustics one on eBay for US$214 and got it last week...
the Kasha lists for US$1595....
4 channels:

clean - sweetest clean channel i've ever heard

crunch - cool, havent used it much yet,very Marshall,light overdrive/crunch to it.

Lead - more of a hot Rhythm channel,my favorite so far, can do metal, Alice in Chains type thing..

Hot - over the top gain, freakin awesome,too much gain,no need for any boosters to play metal,perfect..

It has a level pot on the input,cool for changing guitars,without the pop..
it came with 4 Phillips 12ax7's in it,simple design, output with level pot at the back,footswitch jack,and another input on the back..

the output from this thing is unreal,more than any other preamp,i havent tried it with a tube power amp yet,just through the loop of a bass combo..
but from what i can see, it looks identical to the Kasha.. in terms of features,and sounds...
I'm gonna record some stuff with it in the new year....
