It's not that bad. Reminds me the Valvestate tone on White Zombie's 1st album. With a bit of post production, it could work.
I'm thinkin' a bit of notching in that whistly high-end, a little flub-cutting and a decent bass tone would make it acceptable. Though I'd probably rather just play through my better amps for a keeper tone. Could be an interesting counter-layer here or there though.
Shockingly full for an 8" speaker.

Damn thing looks like it's built like a tank!
It's rumored three things will survive the nuclear blast: cockroaches, these DOD amps, and the Peaveys like the one sitting next to it here. It's almost as heavy as that Studio Pro, and that thing has a Swamp Thang in it.
This was my first "recording" amp. I used to toss it in the closet with a microphone laying on the floor two feet in front of it. Recording into my Soundblaster 16 soundcard with Cakewalk on my home built tower PC.

That sounds better under a microphone than it has any right to. That being said, I’d record with it.
Have done, many a time in the olden times.

Haha, incredible. Does it have an FX send to can send to a big amp?
It doesn't. But, I bought two of these back in the day so me and buds could work out harmonies and such with them without waking the neighbors. My other one is dismantled in a box somewhere, with a quarter inch out cable attached to the speaker leads so I can hook it up to extension cabs. It sounds REALLY rad through a 4x12 or an oversized 1x12. I'll have to see if I can find that one in the next couple weeks.

You can probably use the headphones out for that, I doubt it has any speaker emulation so you can feed it into a bigger power amp.
Sounds amazingly good! I had one of the first death metal pedals and it was awesome. It beoke on me after 10 years, got another and for some reason wasn't as good as the original.
