It lacks low end severely so it sounds thin, but the highs are rolled off and dull so it's muddy too

That's strange. If I want an alternative in a "normal" form factor, it's either a $1350 Syn50 head, or a $1600 2/50/2.Guitarbilly wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 2:02 am Me either!!! First time for everything. Lol

I heard the Fryette version, LX something is much better, but I haven't tried it yet.

It appears to be $1400, but doesn't have presence and depth/resonance controls.

It does, but it's 2 little recessed knobs on top of the chassis. Which is not sure why he did it like that. But I guess once it's dialed in it's not a problemSpaced Out Ace wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 3:00 am It appears to be $1400, but doesn't have presence and depth/resonance controls.

If it's just a 1u rack power amp as a backup then a Palmer macht 402 should fit the bill?
