Buddy of mine uses one in a 2 amp rig and gigs it 3 times a week. He has had a sovtek GZ34 fail once in 4 years. He realised the other week that the whole time hes used it, its been on the cold bias setting
He loves it even more now hes realised and has it on the hot side.So hard to play in a venue where there are too many voices telling you how it should be, and a music director who wont back you. Whether its a church or small club where volume is an issue, just too much compromise im afraid.
There is some volume that comes with great guitar tone, either you want the tone or you dont, compromise is the beginning of mediocrity.
