I sold my Blackstar HT-40 a little over a week ago. It was too loud, even with an attenuator, and I was only using the clean channel anyway. So I downsized to the Mesa 1x12 cabinet I bought last week, and today my new amp came:
It’s a fun little practice amp that nails vintage Matamp/Orange overdrive tones. It doesn’t do pristine cleans at all; even at whisper volumes with the gain down it’s got a little grit. But that makes it great for combining with fuzz and muffs, because I get crackling hot power amp sounds at reasonable volumes. It can also get damned loud if you crank up the gain. Hopefully Orange will decide to produce a two-channel version with a real clean channel at some point.
