I just read a review saying you have to have a pedal in front of this amp for good saturation. FALSE! Everyone has their opinion…. And taste… but I find that if you plug straight in to this amp with no pedals anywhere…. It gives the best tone! What is a necessity is the matching cab! The typical v30 cabs will not give you the full picture of what this amp sounds like! It doesn’t hurt that the fryette cabs are just amazing! It’s also nice to hear great tones from a different angle/speaker/cab design! I have been jamming on my d120ii for 2-3 years now, and if it were to break I will be (devastated) after another with the quickness!!! I run mine through 1 deliverance cab, and 1 sound city cab (cause I couldn’t find another d120 cab) and it’s the best sound I have ever had!

This is a fantastic amplifier! Powerful tones for days! I am a Stoner Rock/Doom Metal player. So the feature for tight and loose in a single knob is a great addition for me personally. I just absolutely love the overall tone and features on this amp!However! You have to be wondering by now why only three stars. That's because there is a serious downside. When I spend $2,800 on an amplifier I don't want to HAVE to use pedals. Ironically I love pedals. However, I shouldn't have to use a pedal in order to drive this thing. YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE A PEDAL TO DRIVE THIS TO THE POINT TO FULL ON SATURATION AND HEAVY TONES. You absolutely have to have one. That is not at all what I was looking for and that was very disappointing to me. I sent it back for this reason.
