I have a question for you:

Is there such a thing as a mixer, that you can control by computer? For example, I would connect my various audio inputs such as mic, guitar, etc into the box, with output going to an amp, but then with a USB cable connected to my computer that would let me see all the levels, control each channel, etc?

he has a nice tone heh

the tuning for that track sucks to have to tune down for though.. takes the intonation out

Arrgghhh you mean I have to detune to get that sound? No wonder ... I tried watching really closely and even found another tutorial on how to play it and I couldn't even come close to getting that sound. It didn't occur to me to detune. Sigh.

Yes, but you are looking at a lot of $$$

As with guitar amps in general before "multi-channel" became the norm for differentiation between distortion and clean, just turn off boost and roll back the guitar's volume as Iommi did

Or as an old bandmate did, employ the use of a volume pedal with it blocked at the clean position so sound doesn't shut off completely at fully low-position when rolled back and just roll forward to increase gain. He was able to go from ringing bell cleans to full on melt-your-face lead tones on his Rockmaster preamp doing so. So it should be easy enough on this setup, too.

In-fact, I rarely use my Blackstar clean channel, it's too (boutique) for my liking. I just set neck volume to low and when I need clean, there she is :)

Yeajh, I'm running through vintage silvertones now and that's what I do. I got the impression from the review though that the gain is always on with this amp.

I think there's just one channel and a boost. So, yeah. I think you're right. But, can still roll back to get clean.

Trying to find a retailer that has it,, not much luck yet, except on ebay and amazon. Not bad deals, around 600US, shipped from UK.

Tone and Name aside, the specs on paper are even looking good. Lots of features that are usually never present all at once in a combo amp, especially tube driven at 35lbs. I may get one of these...

I could not help but imagine a blend pedal to spilt between 1w and 15w input jacks for extra punch when needed.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Inputs: 1 x Jack 15 Watts & 1 x Jack 1 Watt
Power 15W
Channels: Single IOMMI channel
Controls: Pre-Boost, Volume, Drive
Equalisation: Bass, Middle,Treble, Dynamics and Tone
Preamp Valves: 3 x ECC83
Output Valves: 2 x EL84
Class: AB
Variable level FX loop
12" Custom HH Driver
Kick Proof Metal Grill
Speaker Emulated Record Out Jack for Silent/Phones
Jack for Live DI - Speaker emulated
Mini Jack MP3 Input

It sounds terrific, I've added it to my short list of amps. I'm needing a super slick bedroom amp that does something different from the silvertones.
