Well, a number of reasons. It was an NVM build, so it was TOUGH to get it sounding good without overpowering the Matamp through its 2x15. What's more, is there was no effects loop to put a preamp on it.

Grabbed a brand new Hiwatt Super Leeds 150 with the money I had left over. Solid State, but have heard nothing but great things about the Crunch series, which this is an update of. Cool nerd thing - seems like there's only a handful of these in Canada, none in the states, guess Hiwatt only got one shipment over here since these just came out this month.

Hiwatt has an MV, on top of a direct out for recording. Fuck yeah.

Aight that's all.

Hell yeah on getting something more suitable.

As much as we can be amp nerds, we still need to get our fancy little amps in the right operating conditions to do what we want.
