Initial impressions:
Fit and finish are great. The "carbon fiber" covering covers, the knobs all turn smoothly.
Incredibly versatile. Each model sounds different, and each version of the model sounds great, and they are all useable.
Effects are good.
Controls are very easy to use, and are intuitive. Just twist and go.
The amph came triple boxed from AMS. It survived the trip well, methinks.
I can't wait to restring my Strat and plug into the FUSE software. This little sucker is very tweakable as it stands. I can't imagine what "deep editing" is gonna be like.
One complaint.
One of the Bassman models comes with a tremelo effect, and I can't seem to turn it off. The underlying tone is way cool, and I want the effect gone. Maybe I can "deep edit" this preset?
No report as yet on the tones I was getting... My strings were completely shot, and need to be replaced first.
From the demonstration that my local tech gave me, I think you will be able to dial in the Bassman and set up your own preset with everything you want and save it. One of the things I noticed as well was that if you change a setting on the amp while using the fuse software it adjusts the level on the amp controls on the computer. It is completely interactive.
I think this product will be raved about in the future. And the price is a freakin steal!
