Verified ownerThis was exactly what was missing to my live rig. I enjoy using modelers due to their consistency, but my live tone was still missing "that" tube amp feel. I really enjoy its flat EQ response, which allows the modeler tone to still come through, but has the same push and presence of a tube amp. Plus the manageable size and fun LED-changing ability make this amp super useable and fun. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Verified ownerThis pedal is the truth! Another product with a lot of options in how you run it. It's a snarling beast is my flavor. Over the years, after owning Maxons, Tubescreamers, Fortins etc this thing is definitely out on top, no bull. Favorite pedal yet.

This is definitely an amp that will have you rethinking EL34 power. All too often, immediate comparisons are drawn to much older British amps that served their purpose, but weren't especially known for incredibly large amounts of gain.
This amp will change your mind. Cleans that are clear and full are shared with two high gain channels with an incredible amount of diversity. In the high gain channels, each has a 3-way toggle to change how the amp handles preamp distortion; a "clip" mode which is very reminiscent of the Jose Arredondo modded amps with a perfect balance of square wave complimented by a powerful and punchy power section very reminiscent of Van Halen, Vai and a host of other uber-shreddy hair farmers. Also available in high gain is a "crunch" mode which harkens back to the more classic British sounds one would expect from an EL34 based amp, and a "lead" mode that pours on the gain and transforms the amp into a blistering maniacal beast completely capable of modern metal. If you have to use an overdrive pedal with this setting, you should probably walk around wearing a crash helmet.
One toggle, 3 incredibly versatile gain structures, and two separate high gain channels, so you don't have to settle for just one high gain sound.
Both high gain channels also include a "feel" knob with 6 settings that alter the mid shift characteristics, fatness and overall voice of the channel, giving a wide array of tones to explore and use, all of which are useful and well thought out, without a dud in the bunch.
But, we're not done yet, the power section can be enhanced with high end and low end EQ that are phenomenal at ensuring the EL34s in the power section are delivering just the tone you are after.
Combine this with selectable output impedance, external bias points, an independent for all 3 channel assignable effects loop which allows you to determine which channels use the level adjustable effects loop (both send and return) bright switches for all three channels and master volume, it checks all the boxes.
I am not a fan boi, I work with these amps, they are as vital to me as a scalpel is to a surgeon. Before I bought the Juno I had three EL34 amps to deliver what I needed. Now I have one, this one, and it ain't going anywhere.
