I played what I believe was a T.C. 35 at Guitars n' Stuff. I'm almost certain it was using 6L6's for power tubes. The sound was kind of Marshall-like, but imagine a Marshall pushing 6L6's. Nice shimmering mids like a Marshall, but with more low end presence. I remember the amp responding well to volume knob dynamics, but think more Plexi than JCM 800 or 900... It got heavy, but not in a "modern" sense. The definition was looser than what a lot of modern metal players sound like. I liked it. It would be really good for everything up to and including hard rock and blues. If your looking for something that has gobs of high gain saturation, it probably wouldn't do that.

Thank you for the insight! I saw they use tube, and they looked as though they have independant eq channels, which is exactly what I was looking for. I wasnt sure if they were like a Blackstar situation where they were modeled after Marshall. Awesome review though Gallow!
