"TOTAL RECALL TUBE MONSTER"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Best amp I ve ever had... before i bought it I checked Koch Multitone, Vox AC-30, Engls, Marshall modern vintage and Fenders. This powerfull package is all in one. Just try!
Sound
Very versatlie, channel 1: Fender-like clean/overdrive channel 2: voxish overdrive to plexi crunch channel 3: hot-rodded marshall/jcm-area channel 4: creamy not overly aggressive high-gain Although the preamp design is not fully tube charged, the sound are very impressive, from gentle to infernal loud. Turn it up an it will sing. FX: reverb and delay are very good, the modulation section is ok sounding, but the tremolo kicks ass, its kinda tweed tremolo/univibe woooosh.
Features
the only midi total recall tube monster on this planet. had no probs with the footswitch so far.
Ease of Use
Very easy, find your sound, store it and go...
Quality
i worked with it over two years now, no probs during gigs or rehearsals. Everything seems to be sturdy enough for road-life.
Value
It is a professional tool for guitarist with a fair price tag.
Manufacturer Support

Features
The FSm 432 footswitch has failed to work twice. It has to be relaced or repaired. There is some kind of defect with the footswitch. It will work ok one night and the next night you are stuck with one channel and no control.
Quality
Too fragile for regular road work.
Manufacturer Support
Try getting ion touch with the company or even an authorized dealer take many attempts and time.
