Maybe it's just GAS, but all the freaking tap/turn/twist kinda bugs me. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great amp, just does a lot more stuff than I want.
I would be happy with a clean with maybe some reverb/chorus and or delay, and a little dirt for option 2. So, I'm thinking maybe I should trade up for a straight-stick tube amp in the 20-30 watt range and compliment it with a select peddle or 2.
I have gone through the deal of modifying ch1 and 2 to my liking.

Hmm.. looking back at what I just typed, it sounds to me like I am trying to talk myself into dropping some $ on a tube amp doesn't it ?
