I just had my Pignose G40V modded, and I gotta tell ya, it is now seriuosly one of the best, if not the best amps I have ever had, combo or not!

I've had Twins, Marshall's, Champs, and assorted ss amps not worth mentioning, and this little amp kicks major hiney!

Dennis Kager of Ampeg fame designed the G40V. The circuit of the G40V is based on the 59 Fender Bassman, which was also the basis of the original Marshall amps. Gary at Mould Music said he came up with a mod to get it right into Bassman/Plexi land.

Boy was he right!

The big drawback with the G40V is there is very little sway in the Presence Circuit. Gary came up with a mod that brings that circuit too life. Its huge the throw that the presence knob now has, and it brings out a lot in the amp I never knew was there.

This amp goes from clean to crunch, and articulation all across the spectrum! The bell-harmonics ringing out of those tubes sound like its coming right out of a cathedral!

Overdrive! Wow! Creamy, smooth and blistering! This thing will sustain for days! The tone just knocks me on my butt it is sooooo sweet! And that is just through the stock 10 inch speaker, that now sounds totally awesome all across the board (it used to sound flubbery when pushed hard: not any more)! Push it through a 4-12, and its, "OH MY GOD!! That is too cool!!!!!! Unbelievable, totally unbelievable. It doesnt have nu-metal overdrive, but it gets you into classic metal, and hard rock with authority!

I've played a lot of amps, and even though I liked my little piggy, I often thought, "I would like to get one of those new Bassman RI's." I dont think I will be wantin that bassman anytime soon. This little combo amp, is what I would call a giant killer now!

Who woulda known that a little 200 dollar, no frills tube amp, packed such a major punch too it!
