My feedback thread is here.
Sent @ICBM some pics of the wiring as he was interested in them. He seemed positive regarding the quality of build and components.
My feedback thread is here.
The real puzzle is why, given there's really no new technology involved, almost no-one has managed to make such a good-sounding solid-state amp in the last twenty or thirty years.

I've got one. Seems very well built. Does that typical 'breathy' Orange sound. But put the gain to around ten o'clock and it does a great blues/rock tone. Has been mistaken for a valve amp more than once. Plus it's substantially cheaper than the equivalent Blues Cube.
@ICBM What's your take on the Crush 35RT? Thinking of getting one as a smaller lighter alternative to the Crush Pro for when I don't need so much power. I know it's still analogue but assume it's not manufactured to the same standards as the Pro?
Have you ever come across Mambo amps @ICBM ?
They seem to be under the radar a bit, but higher end of SS amps.
As a side note, the DV Mark little Jazz is a very nice sounding solid state amp.
If companies don't want to help people like me repair their products, that's entirely a matter for them.
However, they can't complain when I explain to customers why I can fix said products..........
Incidentally BOSS are one company that I would say generally very helpful with both technical support and parts.
I can confirm that they are a very reliable amp.

I mainly deal with BOSS products, ie pedals
As I said above, its not about "companies don't want to help people like me" and whilst I can't speak for the company now, when I was running the service department I would always try to help as far as we could. The company can complain if the tech shall we say 'embellishes' the story to make a point and then the customer phoned me to complain... its happened, and its awkward because you don't want to accuse the tech of being a dick about it (when they have), especially when this reflects badly on my team who were actually doing all they could to help.
But hey - perhaps we'll agree to differ. Different viewpoints of the same argument - often with the customer stuck in the middle.
And that's why I always suggest the customer talking to the manufacturer where possible, especially on high-tech gear where bespoke parts are likely to have been used.
Anyone know anything more or have experience with these?
