Is that the one where the default frequency is set 332Hz rather than 440Hz?

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

It adjusts the frequency per string to make up for coming instrument inadequacies as far as I know

Yes, it's per string. James Taylor has a nice YouTube video about his sweetened tuning. It's small percentage adjustments per string. There are quite a few sweetened things out there depending on playing style and genre, I think.

I need to do a firmware update before judging. The overdriven tones suck but it takes pedals well. Two channels I guess means an a/b pedal and two overdrives.MiniForklift wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 11:41 pm What’s it like Molly, any good without the valves?
I have an Analogman Prince of Tone on the way, hoping it’ll pair well with the LP
I was thinking about the no valves thing and realised I've been an an advocate of sorts for years. Did more gigs with a G-K 250ML than anything else, and also a Valvestate (one ECC83 but otherwise SS). Since Katana at one price-point and Kemper at the other I could start to worry about the long-term desirability of my boutique tube amps.
Edit: Did the update. OK but unremarkable. Plugged straight from that to the Friedman. No contest. Even chasing clean tones. I'll no doubt bin it off.

I can honestly say it's also one of the most inspiring pieces of gear I own, and has me questioning if I need my big rig anymore. Some of the presets are the nicest sounds I've played through - the Ambi Arpeggio, Dark Chorus, Fixed Wah Lead and Brown Lead are beautiful.
Never thought I'd get this satisfaction out of any type of gear that only costs $250. That might get you a decent pedal these days, but not much else.
It's got me interested in the Katana amp.

Was that the one on tm from Hamilton? Old Si?
How does it sound?
I looked up some demos but was reasonably underwhelmed…

Yeah, came from Simon. Haven't actually tried it yet and might be early next week before I get the chance

Got a 5751 coming from Conway @ Tone Lounge, going to put it in my Laney Cub 8, hopefully get a bit more clean headroom out of it so it sits nicer with the AC10 in stereo

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?
5751's all the way for me, and thanks to MikeC, I have a few to tide me over. Not sure if you'll see much difference in headroom tbh, for that I'd have thought you'd need to venture into the 12at, 12au or 12ay realm. I'm sure I have some kicking around if you wanted to try.
