Considering buying Sansamp Psa-1

[Leandro]

But I'm afraid, because alexi uses those and his tone is pure SHIT! It has that trebly hissy solid state feel to it...is it the sansamp's fault, or he is just a poor tweaker? I've read everywhere that you have to learn how to get good tone out of it, because it has lots of options and whatever.
So...any lights?

It's a good amp, just use is it conjunction with a Tube amp.

Or get a Line 6.

since when the hell did alexi use a psa-1? i know empuu from nightwish used to use them with marshall poweramps before going to boogies, but actually im looking into one as well, unless you like tweaking with stuff alot avoid a rocktron chameleon!(the eq on this thing pisses me off!)

Thanks bob. Then I think I will take my time building the engl powerball clone - If I buy a psa-1 AND a tube poweramp then I'll spend more money than with the parts for the true amp
