Hi Watt High Gain 50 2 x 12 combo?

jeztone2

I've just discovered this amps existence. Am impressed with the clean sounds, size & weight.

Does anyone own one? / have experience of one.

I like my Vox, but I don't really use the top boost, vibrato or reverb. So am wondering if this is a better fit?

Poorly designed and unreliable.

They eat valve and internal fuses for no apparent reason and generally cause trouble. They don't sound all that great either really… or maybe I'm unfairly comparing them to old Hiwatts.

The old hiwatts were point to point wiring & every component was the best that was available.  The new one have none of those attributes.

I have an original DR103.   You can't have it!

Damn thats a shame, theres a real gap in the market for a small 50 watt 2x12 combo that won't give you an aneurism when you pick it up...

Does that have good clean headroom & takes pedals well? @57deluxe?

...you said Hi Gain...?? In that case no - well, yes, a bit... Selective pedals and think more Marshal vintage for clean
