No need for pedals with the Sugarland. Just plug in and go. So nice to have an amp I can get a tone from without needing reverb to dress it up. A keeper for sure. :-)
Soundwise? @Winny_Pooh. That is a really interesting question. It is like so many things. Certainly not like a small amp sound (Deluxe etc). Much bigger than that. The Bartel Premiere Guitar vid on Utube shows the settings on the big Roseland. Mine sounds exactly like that except I can run the master pretty full up at a gig.
Some idea of the sounds. With an EC strat, if I run the vol and tones at 12 OClock I get dead on EC modern live tone. Very similar to my old NP Twins but without the stupid volume levels to cope with (hence why they are my 'old' Twins- lol).
My preferred tone is with a Les Paul. Set the Vol to 7, the Treble to 3 and the Bass full off. From that I can get any tone I want from 40s Jump Blues to Allman Bros to Cream. No pedals required. Les Paul Settings for those tones are interesting:
General LP set up with my preferred amps settings: is both tones on full. Treb pup on 8. I start on the neck pickup. Amp is projecting comfortably above a rock band with medium loud drums and clean with vol on 2. Vol on 3 is a crunch tone. Vol on 4 is the start of the lead colour tones. 8 is max before the amp is going crazy. Treb pickup on 8 is cutting like hell. If I roll either tone full off I can then increase either pick up volume to 10 and get a Woman Tone that cuts through.
For those Jump Blues moments: LP Neck or Bridge Pickup tone backed off half way with vol on 3-6.
Now, from about neck vol on 6 and tone on 10 I can get infinite feedback with very little effort.
The amp is killer. No doubt the more expensive Roseland sounds even better, but I do not know of a gig where I could use that much volume - considering mine is just '12w'.
One thing. If the Master Vol is below 3/4 up it is the usual story. The amp sound pretty ordinary and quickly looses it's mojo. Master has to be up.
Hope that is all helpful. :-)
