Who said that the Quick Rod does not do low/med gain tones?

Esquire in to the QR.  I use the amp a bid differently.  I keep the guitar level low, to about 4K +-.  I goose the board at the end with a Luxury Drive.  I am putting out about 13K in to the amp.  For HB's, I use Gear 1 and for SC pickups I use Gear 2 as it adds thickness and presence.

In the loop, I am using a JoeMeek 3Q.  The tone stack is really well voiced in that unit.  I can sweep it over for more chime, bigger bass, compensate for Fletcher Munson..

At gig volumes, I can tune to a room.

I can also tune the amp to different cabs.

This amp is no "one trick pony".

I can thicken and sweeten the tone, and by careful use of the compressor, I can make the tone stand out very well in a live mix.



As many amazing amps that I have had, I have never had what I would consider a "desert island" amp.  I have finally come across one. 


One of my favorite amps ever.  


The clip is just a short downtempo song idea.  Kind of noisy as the record levels were high and the family was asleep.  SUPER low volumes.  It responds to touch even better at higher volumes.


I love tactile sounding/feeling amps.  It is like this amp is watching me/waiting for me to do what I do.  It responds as if it was tuned to my mind.

Cool vibe!

You can hear the touch sensitivity shining through.
