Thanks! Looks interesting - i'll check them out but until then ..

UP!

ps! Have received some pm-s about the gigmaster that it's actually a hybrid. Not that it really matters but how come? It has one ECC83 in the preamp stage

There probably are some solid-state components providing additional boost to the signal before it hits the preamp tube. I doubt it had much gain otherwise I wouldn't worry about it - it sounds nice, like an ENGL should.

I'm thinking of putting my Diezel Einstein 50watt Head up for sale but it doesn't really fit in the low-wattage head category (it's a very capable gigging volume amp!) and as far as 50watt heads go they ain't cheap either.
Does high gain/metal extremely well but it's also got one of the sweetest sounding cleans i've ever heard from a tube amp.

Cool, I've always kept my eye on Diezel and will probably end up trading my Invader some day for a VH4 or Hagen.

In any case - shoot me a pm once you've decided on the price. Although, might be out of my range currently as I'm just looking for a smallish backup amp to use at home mostly.

Thanks for the offer, although looks interesting and seems to be very versatile, probably the Carvin is not for me.

Blackstar HT5R maybe? It is an amazing amp and does rock/high gain very well

Thanks for the offer - hadn't really considered Blackstar before. Is it the head or combo version (don't know their product line that well).

It comes in a head and combo version! I use a simple boost in front of it and it roars when playing my 7 If you want I can shoot a small clip with my phone

Thanks, appreciated. How is it without the boost? Any lack of tightness in the low- end?

Here it is! Sorry for the sloppy playing, It´s like 3 degrees outside and my hands were still frozen when I recorded this xD I used a boss OD but with the drive all the way back, tone at 9 o´clock and level all the way just to boost it. I used it on some parts. I´ll put the time where the pedal is on in the description! Hope this helps in some way!



The controls are as followed on the amp:

reverb - ISF - treble - middle - bass - volume - gain - channel select - volume - tone

here was the pedal used
on: 1:20 off at 1:57
on: 3:03 off at 3:12
on: 3:30 random on of at the same cord while chugging.
on: 4:40 off at 6:50
on: 8:00 off at the end!

Thanks man! Very much appreciated - couldn't find any decent demos on youtube but yours basically coveres all aspects. Nice influences there as well - some textures and AAL.
