    I love this amp. Nice review. As I am moving away from modelers, even though I still have and am looking to keep the Fractal FM3 I have, I realized I really only need a couple of amp tones. And enjoy playing real tube amps much more than the synthetic copies of tube amps. Regardless of how good, there still not the same. And since everywhere has a reasonable PA and if they don't I can run the direct out on my Mesa Mark V 25 head out to my FRFR for extra volume if I need to, I don't need or want higher wattage amps anymore. I could see adding this on in the future with a matching cab. Different tone to the Mark V, but just as awesome.

    Definitely love this amplifier although I am using a dirty Shirley for many of my tones I look forward to dialing in some of the lower gain tones. I play on the amp. I think it will turn out to be a challenge and I will end up using the dirty Shirley or actually I have also considered using this combo since I just ordered it with, a IRD preamp still that’s not adding a lot of extra weight to my rig and easy to carry from rehearsal to local small gigs so pretty excited about this actually and honestly this starts with where I would like my flex to be. I wanna have a little crunch already there instead of starting out with a British clean, so this is just a little bit of a modified clean and you can certainly get some killer blues tones on the one I tested out anyway with the game turned down so still it has plenty to offer and all of the range from you truly PAF broken tone to melt your facethanks for the great demo man. You’re a killer guitarist as always and I love some of the ideas I get from your own improvisation very talented guy thanks. 7:19

Seems like the PT V2 is giving me more of a Badlands Jake E Lee sound without using my SD1. I haven't tried running the PT V2 through my EVH cab yet. Honestly if your after that sound, I would just get the EVH head, and cab. You get a 50 watt 3 channel tube head with a switchable effects loop for the same price. It does okay at lower volumes. The resonance knob on the back of the evh can give you a bigger sound at lower volume levels.
