I had mail today.
Delicious TOOOBB
It sounds like beefy butter with awesomeness dressing. Like God is shouting at me to keep it down but his voice is a totally rad solo.
In all seriousness, though, it has the exact tone I was looking for. The only complaint that I have is that the clean channel can't be turned up past 3 before it starts breaking up. However, at 3, the clean channel is louder than the Drive channel at 7. So, I guess it isn't too big a problem.
I was rocking out earlier and it rumbled some stuff off my dresser. YES.

After spending more time with the amp, the thing is cracking up and getting a lot of static after about ten minutes of straight play. This happens no matter what volume the amp is set to and primarily on the clean channel. So, for example, if I play an open E, it would be accompanied by awful noise. The only thing I can think is that maybe one of the tubes got messed up in transit (the box was pretty ragged). There was one preamp tube that was seated a little crooked, and I straightened it out, but do you think that getting jarred loose like that could have damaged it?
Sorry about the double post, but I have a week to return the thing for a refund. I would pay shipping (~$90USD). If I can just replace a single preamp tube that cost would drop significantly.
Patrick:
Try plugging your guitar directly into the effects return jack. If you're still getting breakup, it's probably a t00b in the power section. If you're not, it's probably a different preamp t00b than the one you saw slightly askew.
glyphic:
Just out of curiosity, why would it be one other than the crooked bugger?
Patrick:
Factory defects happen. Just another thing to rule out before you maybe waste $90 on shipping to return it.
