Absolutely agree -- really looking forward to these Donner!

Donner.. do you think the SY would play nice into a tweed circit amp or would it be overkill? I have never played one but could never find one that wasn't too marked up (pricewise). I love the sounds you are describing and I can those w/ the amp dimed but at 30W its a bit loud.

I love the SYOD v2 into my 52 Tweed Deluxe. It is just that perfect classic rock tone you hear in your head.

Yeah thats part of why there are 2 viable versions - similar range of sounds on different range of speakers - or different range of sounds on the same amp/speakers. This is also my favorite slide tone 'Victim of Love' :glasses

I like!

Yeah those 5E3 circuits are weird w/ certain pedals.. I got enough headroom to use whatever but I'm having a hard time finding that "ideal" overdrive for it. I like the HBOD into it, but I'm not loving it as much as I did. I love a wren and cuff TFR muff into it, but its too much sometimes too. That kind of versatility you are mentioning sounds pret t sweet

For my Tweed, the drives I prefer are the Mdoel G, SYOD v2, and LGW. My BBOD also does some cool stuff for lead work on that amp.

Yeah, the 5e3 can be tricky with pedals. I really like using an HBOD into mine and the AnalogMan KoT was superb with the 5e3 as well. The KoT really shone with the treble increased just a bit. I really want to try an MG into my 5e3 though.
