hmm.... actually i like the way the knobs are not labeled....
i mean..... u feel ur way around to get the perfect sound.....
the cleans are crunchy when the gain is set high....
but the programmable channels can write everything la....

i put mine like this,
channel 1 - black 2*12, gain set @ half, volume full
channel 2 - UK 80's, gain set @ full, volume 3/4...
voltage regulator i set slightly more than half
then overall volume use the master volume control lo....
settles the volume difference.... [i rarely switch channels anyway, roll down the volume knob immedietely it cleans up]

hmm.... i'll make my own mini review
cons in the amp??? shitty wah >.> even after changing its attack still doesnt sound nice [to me la]
the other effects are pretty nice tho... the rotary effect sounds nice
sounds very zakk when playing momma im coming home...
i also dont like the fact the knobs are made of plastic.... doesnt feel sturdy enuff....
n i really dont understand y they didnt include JC120.... its clean is superb!!!!! ugh.... but im pretty happy with the blackface..... but the cleans doesnt sound sparkly, for clean freaks plz note this.... cuz usually songs i play are mixed between cleans n hard distortion

another one of the cons is i personally find the UK 80's [jcm800 2203] moddeler sounds like it lacks gain when palm muting..... tak cukup kow hmm..... maybe l8r i'll try adding an OD pedal

oo btw, controlling the effects is hell if u dont read the manual =/ n im one of those who dont bother the manual

this amp sounds really nice.... its modellers sounds realistic to me.... but my knowledge of full tube amps are limited so i can't say bout all of em. n i luv the retro look of it.... when i bought my amp there was an AC30 beside it, n it was HUGE XD.... but i dislike the chromed grill [personal] i'd prefer it black sleeker IMO

i'd give it a 8.5/10
may sound biased but i dont think it is..... hopefully not haha... dont have any effect pedals to test it with so i cant say how well it takes pedals....
PLUS i got it cheaper than nerd HAHA i got it 50 bucks cheaper
wahah... means i'll have more cash for the footswitch

oo btw the VSF2 footswitch
the button on the left switches between the programmable channels
the one on the right bypasses the effects or turns on the manual settings i've ordered mine. hopefully i'll be back when it arrives then i'll pick it up while my LP is being repaired

if u dont want ur pod xt, i wud gladly take it for free

i can sell the pod for xtra dough man
lol

ugh..... i think im gonna need a kickass overdrive pedal.... the JCM800 modelller needs lotsa xtra gain

and where would we find this cable??
petaling street aint exactly small =/ any landmarks???

also do they have L shaped cables?

i think u can get moster cable in SMX timesquare

rm 200 + per cable

and its not that long IIRC

best part, its not just the connector gold plated, the whole bloody thing is gold plated [thats what my friend said when he read the description] and its pretty solid =/

dam freakin pricey tho
