No...lots going on, and thought this was originally going to be a TB thing( and you know how "Thoreau" I am with reviews and demos)...still interested as I had been thinking about this version for quite some time....boxes look great, and very nice price, however, right now, timing for me is off

Mine came in! Sounds amazing and now I need to figure out where to put it. The treble knob is much more useable than the original version.

Is the Voltage range the same as the original? I do not want to fry it yet!

I ran it at 12 Volts at the end and it sounds rather different, but equally great as 9 Volts! It works pretty well with the AWF > EGL and EGL>Honey Beeatch. The last one is a magic combo! I like that it has less compression.

I still think it has a tendency to "take over" your tone a bit though it does it in a friendly way. No crazy jump in volume or Distortion and the Treble knob seems far less harsh than my old EGDM4k and if you get clumsy with the trim pot on the 3k. I think the EGL will be bumping the MG for the moment as it has a very different sound where the MG sounds a lot like my Swart Pro (which is nice at low volumes).

Tomorrow I will pair it with a GE treble booster, stack with BJFEs not on the board and try 18 Volts.
