The only downside is the AC plug that makes powering it a bit tricky if you run it on your pedalboard (I do). But.
Perfect for home setup, I use it with a Tonex and Line6 HX Effects into a Mesa 4x12 Rectocab, and I can crank the gain as much as I want because this GPA will decide the final output to my speakers.
As a former tube amp user always fighting with condo’s regulations, switching to this digital setup it’s a blessing.
Cherry on top: if you need to use your setup with other cabs (rehearsals or plugging into someone else’s amp at open stage / jam sessions) you have that simple 3-way eq that will avoid you tweaking your preset, you’ll be just adjusting your eq at the end of your signal chain to match the cab speakers’ “voice”. It both cuts or boost frequencies, which is great!
To my ears, when the eq is flat, I don’t feel any tone coloring from it.
How could this be improved? Probably only issuing a stereo version that gives you 100w/8ohm per channel, the current stereo alternative from HB is just 50w/8ohm, probably not loud enough with a real drummer in the room. The rack mount 400w is not a convenient format nowadays, nobody wants to move around “fridges” anymore!!!
Probably the item with the best Q/P I bought in like 30years.
