amazing when dialed correctly

NYC based touring musician playing post-hardcore/screamo. this amp takes pedals very well and can hit pretty massive volume in most rooms/stage mic configurations. also has a DI out with independent volume control and cab sim. the amp models are pretty close to the real deal in the context of a live mix/when EQ'd carefully.

the only thing I don't care for is the headphone out / the DI in a recording context. I would recommend this mostly as a live rig/backup because it's relatively small and only weighs a few pounds.

I run two different pedal boards depending on which band I'm playing in and in both cases I can either store the amp in the board bag, or store the (mini) board in the Quilter's carrying case with the amp. As a New Yorker this is huge as far as home storage, practice space storage, or cramming it into a rental van.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

I'd start by looking at the Quilter youtube for where their settings are. I would say dialing this amp is a bit different from a regular tube amp and I definitely found my footing after seeing how they got the Plexi to sound like itself.
