    From the moment I bought mine, I'm having such a joy playing guitar again, specially when diving into these kind of tones. This unit really shines in bringing all the sound and timber characteristics we all appreciate in guitar tones, a few tweeks and its ready to rock! Your channel truly inspired me in getting one of these, I can now rock anywhere, whenever I want, without the huge pain in plugging my pc, interface, plug-in so I can rock for a bit. .. It really brought me into that "practice for fun" phase again, which I truly missed. Thank You Cameron, EVH would be so proud of these tones ❤️🤍

    Superb VH style tone and playing. I love it! This is the way to go for this sort of tone rather than getting an old plexi, getting it modded and using a Variac and all that jazz. Eddie never meant to have an archaic path to tone. It's just how it happened. As he found more efficient ways to get his desired tone he went with them. I have no doubt Eddie would have used a THR if they were around in '78.
