Yes, it really is impressive. Two completely different channels that totally nail a genre. I think they may know a thing or two about how best to record such an amp also ;-)
It's interesting - I can dial up that clean ish tone, including fantastic reverb, on the vintage Princeton. Same break up (and also using an attenuator), and touch sensitivity.

Reminds me a little of my old Red Plate also. Wonder where that is now.
It has remarkably little headroom on that clean channel. Not sure how hot his Strat pickups are, but that was quite crunchy even at 10 o'clock. Probably similar to your Princeton...

I liked the tone of the Two Rock Traditional Clean a lot more, to be honest.

I’m with you on the Princeton thing, there’s bound to be one in my future! I can get that tone on the AC10 with the Jan Ray clone though which makes me very happy!

Jeremy, what's that lick he's playing called? I assume it something from Gone Gayer?
Don't talk to me about failure; sometimes I even fail to disappoint myself.

Yeah but if you play the 5th (G#) on the second beat of the first bar, you're an absolute psychopath. He's lucky I continued the video past the first few seconds.

Nice, that's my youngest daughters name - "Marin" (pronounced like "Karen"). In the US they apparently pronounce it like "Mar-Inn". :D

Boss RV-200, almost tempted to buy one from Aus rather than wait on the rockshop to get their act together...

A kemper for some reason. Might give it a few weeks to let the GAS naturally subside and pull the trigger otherwise.

Slowy’s rockbox boiling point,a V3 Protein, a Soldano SLO pedal, a germanium Tumnus and a BE-OD deluxe.

One or all of these will do, I’m easy…

The DemonFX clone of the BE-OD and Deluxe versions are awesome, I have the standard one and its killer, be warned they're noisy AF pedals (including the original Friedman ones) but have an internal trimpot to tame the gain....

Yeah, I had the standard BE-OD, great fun to play, almost useless in a band context without any mid control, but I recently discovered the deluxe has one!

Very keen to give that a whirl, will look at the Demon X stuff, no experience whatsoever with it!
