    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.

    Best of to best

    This should have been the first UA amp I should have bought. This beats all other amp emulations UA has. It’s clear from clean to overdrive. Open. Not to bass-y like others.

    Really Digging It So Far!

    I tried the demo of this and after dialing it in and playing a few presets I decided to pull the trigger. Great tone for a plugin and it allows me to add some guitar tones I was missing without it in my library. Hint: Turn down your input on the Apollo and utilize the gain on the amp to get some nice cleans.
