That is amazing

So you are going to redesign the housing for the list version? Why would you change it though? It's so awesome already!

So what enclosure will be contained in? The size of the small box Meat Oms? Or larger than that? Either way, Ic an't wait to see what they end up looking like :popcorn:

:agree: I haven't been able to stop playing mine. I have a few meatheads and I dig them all, but I'm pretty sure the Dark is hands-down my favorite.
I can now vouch for this!

The dark is a total beast. The black and gold one I have sounds huge and I didn't think that the dark could go that much forther.... but it does :shocked2: It is going to be a permanent fixture for me. I'm finding that having big cabs with a healthy speaker count and high powered heads is pretty much a prerequisite here. My little Orange AD5 can't handle this bastard at all.. the lows and volume are just too much. It entirely overloads and sounds like it's on a delay almost :zgrin: So far I am really liking it through my Matamp 120, set slightly cleaner than usual. I can see how these might not work well for some folks, but for me and my usual setup, this is perfect.

Also, those graphics look even better in person Donovan!

I completely agree. It doesn't really work that well with my low/mid powered amps but its absolutely devastating thru my JCM 800. Congrats on scoring one :tu: .

I am finding that the silicon fuzz pedals sound better through my 50 watt Park 2x12 combo, while the Germanium seem to be more flexible, at least to my ears. :badteeth:

Great recording unit!!!

I use the H4 regularly at the rehearsal space and it sounds awesome.
The new one looks like it has a much better interface.
What gets me is all the tweaking,
just crank that bitch and be done with it! -- duende
