As with all of my demos and reviews, receiving products from companies does not impact the statements I make in videos. I always give my unbiased views, burps and fart sound effects included. My dedication is to you, my loved metal gear nerds, and helping you make smart buying decisions so you can achieve maximum chug.

I'd love to hear that room mic blended with one or more of the cab mics. Probably my favourite thing to do when in the digital realm is blending room mic IRs with cab IRs for some tasty tones, be interesting to see what it sounds like with a real amp, and one this gnarly *only 10 mins in so it might happen yet

Love my super kraken. Sure its fairly dark sounding with everything at noon but they EQ is usable all the way around and its easy to get a brighter sound out of it. I use a precision drive to brighten it up a bit. But i agree that my one and only gripe with the amp is: the lack of presence control

(Such as it is) Thank-You Ola for another great, & entertaining KZfaq video! (I find it never hurts to stroke the host a bit!) So good job, atta boy, etc....🤘🤪 🧟♀️ tone from that Victory, I must say!

@BeanSniffles 4 жыл бұрын
Seriously. I bought one a while back and it kicked all my OD/Distortion pedals off my pedalboard. Only thing left are a few fuzz pedals and they blend very well with the Crunch channel on the amp. Speaking of the Crunch channel, I'm kinda sad Ola didn't gun the gain on channel 1 while in Crunch mode. With the Focus boost on the amp or a boost pedal up front, you can get a really nice cranked high-gain Marshall sound.
