    Welcome from down there! I'm up here, in Canada. Top of the hill of snow and ice.

    Ahhh Lara Bingle... She's single now too ;-)
    Kat>> You sure you want to ride that train man? I tend to get a little excited when people ask about my amp seeing as it's just about the best piece of gear I've ever owned. I just love it to bits. Personally i think it's the best amp in it's price range when it comes to high gain tones. I've put it up against things costing 3 times as much and it's held it's own.

    Absolutely. I'm a fan of solid state, tube, hybrid and modelling amphs. Good tone is good tone, no matter where it comes from!

    I'll check out your review on UG here in a minute.

    EDIT: Nice review, and well balanced.

    Thanks man. I have to say that the X Mode feature really grew on me since writing that review, the extra honk in the high mids does help solos cut through the mix
