Nice. I have one of these but I really dig the aesthetic of yours.

What do they sound like? I tried one in a store like 15 years ago, and remember not liking it, but I think I was chasing something that these amps don't do.

Definitely hot rodded Marshall territory imo. However, im really enjoying the clean and crunch channel so it does have flexibility. To get hard rock/ metal tones you definitely need to boost it. I've been searching for a hot rodded Marshall and I'm really enjoying it so far!

Lol, my post originally said that I tried one "15 minutes ago", that should have been "15 years ago".

I think that's what I was looking for, some type of Marshall-y mid gain, but I just didn't like the flavor of it. Oh well, this was also the same day I tried a few Oranges that also did not sound good to me, so, maybe that shop just had a bunch of beat up amps at the time.

Haha no worries! Always possible you just didnt like it either!

Really enjoying this amp. I figured I'd need to have the gain on channel 2 around half or greater for a good high gain tone. I've found that the higher the gain, the thicker and warmer the tone (which is fine) but to get more cutting tone it needs to be at about a quarter. Also, a boost is a must for modern tones.

Clean sounds like clean to me. I'm not a clean expert though lol crunch channel is super versatile BUT for some reason the effects loop clips the Axe Fx 3 which is a pain.

All in all, really happy with the amp and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique hot rodded Marshall

Awesome !!

Is this the current or previous generation? Regardless, sounds like it's a killer amp!

Hmmm I think previous given it's not on their product line at the moment? I think it came out in 2016ish?

I'm going to try and dabble with a tone x capture at some point

I'm hesitant to share this because I don't personally think the capture came out great, but here's a direct capture of my Lynx X 40W:

My plan is to redo this one after some general trial and error to demystify the capture process for myself.

@Mongillo19 BUMP.

The new car smell must be gone by now. How's it holding up???

Still a fan! It does that hot rod Marshall tone very well but it very versatile as well.

I'd highly recommend one!

It's not super high gain though and will certainly need a boost
