It does beg the question of whether some RD compact owners might go back and look again at the big version...?!
I’ve kept both and retain a small -but definite-preference for the bigger box
(The ghosting and maybe a sense of it somehow having more ‘punch’ on the Si side)
One unique feature (IIRC) of the compact is that the rectifier
is said to be voiced ‘between the silicon and valve’ sides of the original.
Anyway, can’t go wrong with either, as this thread seems to confirm
I had dismissed the bigger version but am now thinking again

I'm trying to lighten my whole setup after years of big amps and disappointment with Kemper Stages that's have been faulty and a Helix that I'm not really digging. The idea of an amazing pedal board setup like this is very appealing.
Is anyone else using it like this? Still enjoying it? How does it compare to a real amp?
Thanks!
It sounds exactly like an amp. As good as my Carol Ann Tucana was and first impressions make me think it sounds better than my Kemper. I'm running it as a preamp into a SD Powerstage into a 212 with Neo creambacks.
Looking forward to practice tomorrow so I can really see how it performs.
I think this pedal is a future Klon type.
It can't do a ragged 5e3 Tweed-style. But for Marshall, Vox and Fender tones I don't think it can be beaten. It is also miles better in tone and feel to anything in the HX Stomp (which I love and has plenty of other strengths)
Everyone else loving theirs?
