I got my GA-5 in on wednesday. I've got to be honest fellows, I was ready to pack it up and return it by Thursday morning. I've yet to get a decent tone out of it. At very low volume the cleans are OK, but anything with any volume is very harsh, brittle and dark. My Tele sounded the best through it, but I've tried a Casino, a Melody Maker, a Les Paul and a Strat. They all sound bad. I've got a 45 day return window to see if it'll break in and open up, but it's gonna have to really open up to be a keeper. Comparing it to my Champ, there's no comparison. I'm really disappointed, especially when I read how much everyone else is liking theirs.
