Not totally sure, but I think in this case the NFB is global, in a circuitry sense not frequency. So it will control the linearity of the power amp and increase the bandwidth.Technically most amps with presence and/or resonance controls have adjustable global negative feedback, just in select frequency bands. /pedantic

My Peters FSM and MI Beta have NFB knobs (though they call them damping/contour) and they're definitely modern high gain amps. I usually crank the the NFB to make them feel wayyy more percussive and tight ime. The Reactor NRG also has an NFB, and it sounds pretty modern from what I've heard in clips/from @BrutalRobWhat's really impressive is the whole package itself. The adjustable NFB was an unexpected surprise. I mean that is usually something you can only alter modifying the amp itself, and definetely not something I'd expect on a modern hi-gain amp (because most folks worried about it are classic rockers trying to turn everything into a JCM800).
An 8kg "big bottle" multi-channel amp is a wet dream for me. Add a DV Mark 212 cab for peanuts at 12kg (or even their 412 at 22kg) and you've got a thunderous yet ridiculously light setup.

I reeeeally hope the clean channel is better than that abomination on the Ceres, though
Looks like this thing is an Ares-Ceres mashup.Coming from 2 years playing with a Ceres straight through a tube amp's effect return to an actual Gemini amp, the clean is definetly better on the amplifier, which makes sense given the Ceres is still all solid state with minimal EQ shaping options versus having an actual 3 bands EQ on an all tube amplifier.
KSR amps have much better cleans than the Ceres. I don't know if this amp has 2 "V1" tubes like the bigger amps though.
So many tubes in such little space, grilles only on the back side?
