Great amp, (Hi Andy), I sold this amp to MV, only because I had a surplus of amps at the time. When I rehearse there, it's my first amp of choice, or the Fender Twin II. The toppiness on the Gibson can be tamed by changing the speakers, (Which I experimented with many times). The Celestion V30's in there seem to be used as a generally efficient, cost effective OEM speaker by many amp builders, but, far better results can be had, if you can be bothered spending time swapping speakers. I currently have a 15watt 1 X 12 version for sale, If anyone is Interested? Once again, only because it's surplus to requirments.
