I just bought one of these online after seeing the video clips online... Just wondering if any players in here have one and what your thoughts are about it?

Nice!

I have a Randall head and I love the way it sounds..I made my 4x12 cabinet a little deeper than a marshall, closer to the size of a Krank I guess...Loaded it with Texas heat speakers and it's got a great tight tone to it. I've played the same head through Randalls/Marshalls and it doesn't sound as good..

I'm pretty happy with plugging straight into the amp.. I basically bought the pedal because it's limited to 1000 globally...I will definately try it out though...

Got it...Absolutely love it!!!! Great tube tone ! I'm shocked!!!
 
Nice pedal!

Doesn't sound so great when put in front of a solid state amp, but sounds awesome in front of a tube amp (IMHO)!

Tube amps always sound better than SS amps, it doesn't matter what you put in front of them. I have the Randall H&H head and although it's not pure tube, I find that the blackfire adds significant tube tone.

I can't wait to get hid Blackstar sig though...

Yeah, me too! I asked Gus about it during my lesson and he was "mum" about it. I asked ... "Should I wait for your signature model or go ahead and pickup a Series 1 - 200 or (6L6), and he was ... 'well, I don't know, they are all great amps!'.

(Kinda vague, eh?!)

I asked him when it was coming out and we talked about how he used the prototype for some European shows...Being a tone chaser, he's probably still tweaking it with Blackstar... The cabinets look awesome though!

I agree, the cabs are bitchin! I wonder if they were done just for Gus or if they will be sold as part of a "Signature Half-stack"?!
