T5 Infinium : Bought as a backup, kept using it!

My Marshall JTM head died (it just needed new tubes thankfully) and I decided to buy one of these to sit on top of my cab and use at home whilst I sorted the JTM out.

This thing is great! It sounds very tubey and takes my pedalboard well. The reverb is also better than some pedals I’ve owned over the years.

There’s no fx loop or DI out but I don’t use those anyway. Also, the gain knob is needed to be turned up in order to increase volume when the “phat” button isn’t pushed in. But it keeps some headroom and I prefer to use it that way with pedals pushing it.

The build quality is great and the fact it tells you when the tubes are on the way out and replacement ones don’t need to be biased was another bonus. (Replacing the tubes on the Marshall head was expensive and awkward).

I still use this for bedroom playing and have taken it to open mic nights and used it with a cab at the venue to ensure I keep my tone but don’t have to carry much.

Highly recommended, excellent value for money.
