Hiwatt doesn't surprise me. Either does tripple rec tbh.
just shows though as i always said find a shop with huge s/h amp selection and go try lots of things isn't a bad idea as most people would choose something unexpected
totally agree... Keep telling people but they look as if i am mad.
tbh if c63 had been out earlier I'll bet a lot of big names may have stayed GSP and or come to GSP and it would be much more well known....
The flip side is that it gets me gassing for new stuff - with the Zoom G3 it was the Vibroverb as that model sounded brilliant, now it's the Hiwatt... Thankfully they are both rather spendy so there's not much chance of me being able to buy either!

edit....... scratch that its no valve
I'm still really liking it. It's just really easy to get good tones. Hardly any tweaking required.
I've just snagged a mint GSP1101 & Control 2 from Andertons for £177 delivered. It's the third or fourth GSP I've had over the years, but this one will be a keeper at that price.
Never had a Control 2 before, but always fancied one, so looking forward to receiving the two and hooking them up...
What I have found is strange though, is I've been trying to use a Keeley 30ms double tracker in the loop, in stereo, and it doesn't seem to let me. The effect is audibly on but the stereo effect is not "one dry one wet", but rather mixed on both loop returns. If instead I take a mono line out into the 30ms, then take stereo out to the mixer, that works perfectly, any ideas on why the stereo loop may not he stereo-ing?

tried a few options (plugged straight into lab series power amp input) and settled on best setup in GSP being Power Amp/Cab with power amp set as a valve power amp (the Lab series didn't need the slight taming of HF that solid state option seemed to bring and valve sounded better than flat).
Sound quality was crazy good and master volume control on amp is still in circuit so very useful indeed.
Honestly couldn't be happier as a great amp to plug a modeller into.
They are cheap too so if ya see one for sale then i can highly.recommend the Lab Series L5 (2x12) L7(4x10), or L9 (1x15) and they are defo worth a look at.
So defo decided I am eyes open for a very rough cheap L5. I am gonna replace baffle for 1x12 operation and fit a modern, light weight neodium magnet driver. Then I am gonna fit my spare GSP1101 into case and 4 cable it in a semi permanent way. this will be my travel light/open mic setup... Grab lightish amp and control2 - basically what people are using Katana for
This is great as it has a minimum volume control pot on side so I can have it controlling volume of gsp full range (zero to max) or I can turn pot and control the min point so at moment it gives me a lovely rhythm/solo control (toe down solo, heel down rhythm) which i can tweak quickly with the pot if I am plugged into diff amp of whatever or equipment that maybe has diff headroom to mine.
