Built in custom boost sounds cool.

Looks sweet. Would love to hear a good sounding clip of some leads played with this amp. Don't expect the rhythm sound would be all that great for anything post-70s style hard rock/metal though
I think it's got a great thick and chunky sound perfect for hard rock and metal form any time period.
They couldn't get someone with a bit of flair in their playing to demo that?
Not that it sounded bad or anything but it IS Yngwie's signature head after all. Would it have really hurt to show off a side of it that isn't a generic Marshall rock tone that we've been hearing for decades? Something tells me that the old rock covers guys are not the intended market here.
Yes, I'm sure this amp will do modern technical death metal with 7 string guitars tuned down to G# well

This.
So fucking tired of those "Blues rocker" guys that have to demo every fucking amp.
"Now we are going to show you what this Triple Rectifier/6505/Framus Cobra/Krank Krankenstein (or just insert any amp that would be very much aimed at the more modern heavy rock/metal guitarist) sounds like........, hey I know, I'll let my friend Wankster Mcmasturbator show you some blues rock licks THAT YOU DEFINITELY HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE to demonstrate this amp!"
Paul from Guitar World is the epitome of this.
"Now this is a metal guitar/amp/pedal, so let's do what it was designed to do".
*Pentatonic riffs with too much gain*
"As you can see it's a real firebreather".
No, Paul, I did not see that.
Fuck, that guy makes me want to facepalm every time I see a clip with him in it. I feel genuinely embarrassed to watch the clips, and it quite frankly surprises me that Guitar World are not embarrassed each time they get that guy to put the amps 'through their paces'. It just seems like he's permanently stuck at the level of a high school 'hard rock' guitarist that's been playing for about 18 months tops.
But I suppose Guitar World is an embarrassment in itself, those douchebags can't ever give a bad product review.
