Micro Dark : wow

6 years ago

I always wanted a tube amp, but they are a bit too expensive for me and most importantly, they are simply too loud for a bedroom.

so after reading and watching videos regarding this head, I thought I was making the right decision by going with this head, due to its solide state power section.

(keep in mind I only play in my bedroom)

the cleans: you'd expect them to be just okay, well actually, they are very good. I was pleasantly surprised with them.

the crunch is very good as well, nothing to complain about.

when you start to push the gain and get into metal territory, things can get a little too loud, to the point where i have to keep the volume of both guitar and amp to 2.

However, the distorted sound is amazing, even at low volumes.

do I regret buying this? absolutely not, the sounds it offers are wonderful.

the only con I can find is the lack of a 3 band eq, replaced by the shape knob.

if you want to upgrade from SS but not really fond of tube amps, this is the perfect compromise
