I bought this head for high gain tones with loads of tight low end. Your standard requirement for punk rock and hardcore. Yeah, it does that like a monster but that was never in question; I can’t believe what happens when you keep the gain reasonably low on the blue channel and crank up the volume... seriously musical plexi like tone that creates a wall of sound. Air gets moving through the speakers at around 9 o’clock and responds like a kicking sub at 11 o’clock. How it has so much body is witchcraft. It’ll make you giggle. The clean channel has enough headroom for whatever you need it for, too. Sound like a vintage Fender. Brilliant! I’m very impressed with the EQ section on this head as it has a HUGE spectrum to dial in any pickup combo you might want to use. My go-to guitar right now is a Gibson Firebird and the mini humbuckers sing like a dragon through this head. As for speaker response, V30s seem to love it most but GT75s can be utilized if you can curb the high end a bit. Play around with the blend of treble and presence and you’re gold. The head runs extremely quiet compared to the 100watt original EVH head. I don’t even seem to need a noise gate. All the cool features don’t need to be mentioned In a review but I will say I would really love it if EVH would start including a real Fender spring reverb unit in all their heads. Would be a serious game changer! The knobs are a tad cheesy, but perhaps a lightweight plastic is better for the pots? Hahaha,… read more who knows. My new favorite amp and going on the road with me as soon as the world reopens!
