Looks awesome man. How does it sound? What brand of tubes does she have? What do you mean 'hybrid' cab?

The hybrid slant cab that has a straight baffle but the slanted look to the sides. She has Sovtek tubes now. I haven't been able to play it yet. Still at work and it's turning into the day that will never end!

Just had band practice. WOW!! Od1 with the gain just before noon and I was nailing Hetfield tones. Biggest, ballsiest guitar tone I have ever had. I cranked it for a second (volume almost halfway up) and the Splawn 4x12 held up and asked for more. I do not see how people can say that this amp doesn't have enough gain. Amazing amp!

Very nice, congrats. Not enough gain = not enough to cover up their sloppy playing  |

Well, played 3 hours straight with the new Nitro last night. I love my wife. She stayed the night at her sister's place so that the Nitro and I could have some bonding time.
I fiddled with the knobs for about 5 minutes and I found such a killer tone that I just played without touching it for almost an hour. I never play that long without tweaking something. I even forgot to check out the half power setting.
The only thing that's missing is a GCX switching unit. I'll set it up for 3 channels. Clean with chorus, crunch on od1 w/ no effects, and lead on od2 solo engaged and a little delay.

One week with my Nitro and I'm loving it! I've never owned an amp that I can just turn on and have my sound right there. The knobs just adjust the shades of awesome. I've owned a JCM900, Mesa Boogie Triaxis, Mark IV, and Dual Rectifier, and most recently an Axe-Fx and they all pale before the all mighty NITRO! This amp nails Metallica's live sound (Mesa/Diezel blend).
