"Yeah, I used to think solid state amps sucked, but the Beta Leads are really sweet. Two identical channels that you can use individually or both at the same time, which is what i do for a 'boost' sometimes. They also have plenty of gain, I don't normally use any distortion or fuzz, just a tuner and a Phase 90. Buzz from he Melvins uses them, Cobain used them, etc... They're also nice and small compared to some amps. I carry mine on the plane with me and it fits in the overhead bin."

Best choice for drone music on a moffat driven solid-state amplifier

This particular amplifier uses a form of digital c-mos technology, while I don't full understand every aspect of it, a clear distinction to be made is that all the levels are digital and function like that of an exponential step latter.
