I saw the reviews :shock: and for $ 150.00 I just had to have it, thought it would make a great practice/ bedroom amp :wink: but boy is it loud :lol:

I'm using a Digitech RP 255 and feeding one output to the Micro Terror and the other to a Kustom 12 watt, both drive one 12 inch single 1970s 60 watt Celestion in a separate cab.

isn't that a 12AX7 amp driving a Class-D output stage? Those are LOUD amps. Esp pushing a 12-inch 60-watt rated Celestion. May want to look for an 8-inch cab...

Hi BMW, yes its a 12AX7 pre-amp tube with 20 watts of solid-state output, I like it, I just have to keep the volume below one :?: I cant believe I just said that :lol:

Yeah, as soon as I saw 60w 12" speaker I knew that was the problem. Try it on a cab with a low wattage 10". Basically, your problem is that the speaker you're plugging into is too efficient.

If you plug a Champ into a 410 or 412 cab, you've got a club amp right there.

You guys make me laugh :lol: I love it and the combination of both amps give me a huge selection of sounds.

Its a great practice set up but I cant wait to melt some eardrums with it :D

Just thought you'd all like a laugh at the size of it. Now who can help me carry it to practice ? :lol:
