Re: bringing the 100 alive
These amps NEED(!) to be cranked and boy do they sound great when you can get the power amp valves working hard! I've got the Artisan 30 combo and have found that a Dr Z Airbrake works really well with it. Once you get Channel 1 up to about half volume and with a humbucker guitar plugged into the hi...
