Das Beast !

OR!
The Roland GA-212

I have had this Beast for several months now and I love this thing.

To my ear it sounds as good as any tube amp I own if not better.
Only one niggle that I can think of right off the top of my head, is if the bass is turned up past 5 or 6 and the master volume is turned down to 3 or 4 the bass does get mushy/flabby, since I never play that low any way, Hot Damn!

I will say in the amps favor that I use fairly hot humbucker guitars

With the "Drive" turned up and my pick turned over sideways while I am picking gives me that "Chainsaw From Hell" sound!
Hot Damn, Dark Days Indeed!

If you are looking for a new amplifier, check the Roland GA-212!
Solid State Reliability, Tube Sound Heaven !!!
I do not believe you will find a better amp!

At 200 Watts, this baby indeed goes to "11" and then some.
I am going to have to build me an "Underground Bunker" to be able to play this little beasty at full volume.
