    Fuchs Rocks!

    I owned a Fuchs OD-50, have had the plugin version and love it - it really behaves and feels like my old amp! The Train II sounds great too!

    EMG SA’s

    I have a hardtail offset with EMG SA’s and it sounds really nice through this Fuchs. You can really get a whole range of tones with amp by gain staging. Clean tones are had by keeping the gain low on stage 1 and 2 and turning the master level up higher. I really dig the simplicity and versatility of this amp. It really does better in service, in my opinion, for me, than the Suhr due to simplicity in design. And it sounds great with the EMGs and especially so followed by a well tweaked space echo - er, galaxy delay (whatever they call it), :).

    Great Amp

    The tones are great. The tube breakup sounds very accurate to a real amp. Great addition to my arsenal of guitar stuff.
