Sound Quality

This amp is absolutely superb!
It's got a bright yet warm tone and it
is so creamy and delightful!
I play through a Warmoth Strat and it is built as follows:
Pickups (seymour duncan)
Sh-11 custom custom Trembucker
Alnico 2 Neck Pickup
parallel / series tap
Neck = All Maple 6100 frets
Body = Swamp Ash
Floyd Rose Trem
This is a very very bright guitar,
and I always wanted an amp that took the guitar
and warmed it up, and this amp does just that.
It does not have distortion,
but that is actually a plus for me considering
I use distortion pedals and all I need is a really
good clean channel.
The tone is that of a 50's rock / jazz sound,
but with more warmth than bite to it. It has an
Alnico speaker so as you can guess its just
responsive as hell.
When you put a Ibanez Tube King in front of it
with the compressor on and having it on the
low gain setting it just roars. The compressor works
very well, but when u crank it, those tubes just can't
help but give. I get the bite of the distortion from
the natural distortion of the amp,
and I get that warm modern low end from the tube king.
It's got a real punch you in the jaw kinda sound,
very similar to Alkaline Trio's first album "Goddamnit."
I just love how this amp sounds and holy SH*T is it loud!
I can use it for band practice and it over powers my band mates'
ampeg 4x10 and Fender 4x12. Just truly a great great great amp.
Reliability
:
No Opinion
I would trust this till the end of my day's.
It is all hand made in America by a Super Luther
so I will gig with this all the time with no fear at all.
I have yet to gig with it as I just got it pretty recently,
but I play a show very soon so we will see how it goes.
Customer Support

I've emailed asking for info
about other amps and even my own amp
and have gotten a response very quickly.
If I ever have a problem with it I know for sure
I am not going to have a thing to worry about.
Overall Rating
:
10
This Amp is everything I could ever want in an amp
besides it being a little bigger,
but with the sound being as loud as it is,
I really feel no need for the extra weight.
If it were stolen I would probably get a bigger size,
but I would never buy anything else besides this.
I love everything / hate nothing about this amp
It compares to the super sonic, but the guy who helped
design the super sonic designed the new supro's haha.
As far as wish it had is 1 more speaker,
a 2x12 combo would be perfect.
Don't hesitate to email me about this amp,
I am gonna record some sound clips for others to enjoy!
