An amp to more than please the serious tone freak.

With an 80W, 4 - 6L6 power section and a custom-wound transformer, the Superdrive 80 is tight and beefy with plenty of headroom. It gets the tone of the gods and exceptional pick dynamics even at conversation level. In the preamp section, 12AX7s and a 5U4 rectifier tube deliver a tight and articulate clean channel and a lusciously creamy overdrive channel. Controls for treble, mid, and bass EQ; rhythm volume; hi-gain drive; and master volume. The transformer can be switched from 4, eight, and sixteen ohms to match your speaker setup. Effects loop and a slave out connection are provided.

Great Amp!

I played this amp a few days ago. It blew me away! I definately wasn't expecting the drive channel to sound so sweet. I love metal, so I can't get quite as much gain as I'd like from most "vintage" styled amplifiers, but this rocked hard. I would like a little more, but the clarity dominated. Tone like that is hard to find. I might think about buying one soon!

Also, wattage is a unit of power, not volume. Even though it's only puts out 80 watts, it's freakin' loud. The 45 watt model is plenty loud for most gigs.

I just recently bought and sold over 25 amplifiers that included Bogners, Diezels, Marshalls, Boogies, VHT's, Dr. Z, you name it, but this is the first amp that simply floored me. Just an amazing chimey clean, and a high gain sound that retains clarity in complex chording. This amp can easily cover every style of music with proper eq-ing. The eq works insanely!

I've been on tour with this amp for a year now, and night after night it sounds amazing. Not too many features, just a nice thick sound from the second you plug in.

If you're looking for a reliable amp that always sounds great.... here it is.

Alright... everyone complains about the 80w... well 80 watts is more than enough to be one loud mother at a rock concert. Ive used this amp at a gig with my band 3 times and my band mates complain of it being too loud... Also the tonal quality of this amp is next to none. You wont find a better amp until u look at mesa boogies.
