      Pete Thorn mentioned it wasn’t like a Marshall, but more similar to an Orange or a soldano…..

    I think I've figured it out - your channel is "Knobs" but for people who like amps and riffs instead of bleeps and bloops through pedals. This amp is the definition of "big" sounding too.

    • @ZachWish
