But Johnny is right, this amp does loud clean well. Not BF sparkle, but it has headroom out the wingwang if you want it that way.

Here, scoots is trying to do a certain thing. He's new to tube amps and isn't sure what to do, or technically inclined yet (we all have to start our path to learning somehow).

sjhusting and myself have been trying to be friendly and help out a fellow TDPRI'er.

sjhusting and myself have been qualifying our statments with context were possible/practical. sjhusting even already mentioned his thoughts on V1 in a previous post! Likewise my critiques of that site were not "willy nilly" and had proper context.

We're just trying to help scoots out... we're not trying to dump a bunch of over-the-head tech info, or turn anything into a pissing context.

This amp should be plenty loud and plenty clean - its not exactly a "modders dream" either. I really suspect there is a disconnect in communcation and/or a problem with the amp itself...

But at the least, we can avoid being dogmatic, critical, and hostile... and stick to trying to be helpful in solving this particular problem. LEts play nice.
