At 40 watts, with a decent size cabinet, it's loud & clean, or gritty if you need the dirt.
I wasn't worried about clean tones, but I wondered if the BDRI could rock too.
Yes, indeed, it can rock. The Peavy Classic 30, an Egnater and Blackstar were also contenders, but I've always liked 6L6 amps.
In this case, the factory valves are the 5881 variety.
Quick clip with a Les Paul, and a few seconds of Strat tone at the end.
This amp is built very well, the tweed covering looks slick...and for tube changes, the reissue has a bias trim pot.
For well under a $grand$, I find it to be a great value.
Looking forward to breaking in the speaker, and I might warm up the bias a bit. The factory setting is a little cold.
Carbon Copy delay in the loop (so subtle you probably won't hear it in the recording) , and a Cmatmods Brownie in front.
The iPhone recording will never capture how solid the amp sounds in the bedroom, but...oh well.
