                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Triode/pentode switches don't just change the power output, they change the response characteristics of the output stage of the amp quite a bit.

Absolutely :!:  Big difference noted. The triode setting is OK for rhythm playing and trying not to wake the neighbors but the pentode setting is were this amp gets rocking :note2:  :note1:]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The main reason I got this amp was to replace the EVH. Seems I toasted it a while back, probably the homemade attenuator :oops: The BH5H has lots more  headroom than the EVH. I might take the EVH to a amp tech though, I kind of miss that bluesy tone. But I think the Blackheart is much more versatile.<br><br>BTW I was checking out your web site, you and Jr have done a lot of work on the man cave. Looking good :D]]></content:encoded>

I went and bought that Classic 30 ...... but I'm not using that either.   :oops:  :roll:   SansAmp Tri OD into an ancient Korg G3 processor into the power amp in of a 120 watt solid state head connected to a 4 X 12 cab.  I don't know what to say?  Glad you like your Blackheart though.  They did get my attention.  I like the idea of the EQ as well as the pentode switch.]]></content:encoded>

I would rather they just cut the switch out &amp; give me 5 watts! I like the bass/treb/mid controls though. I don't care for "pure power" heads w/ no sound shaping onboard = just my .02  :lol:]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I just got my BH5H head yesterday  :twisted: Its 5 watts with a 3 watt switch. It has bass, mid and treble also. I hooked it up to my old Peavy cab with a 12 in. speaker(I'm saving my nickles and dimes for the Black Heart cab). This thing is like the Epi Valve Junior but on steroids :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted: It souds much clearer with the EQ and is louder than the epi although you might need a Tubulator or some such device if you want lots of distortion. I live out in the country with the closest neighbors about 300 feet from me but I'm pretty sure I could wake them up with this thing on full blast :lol: <br><br>It sounds good with the epi Dot but it really loves my strat. I ran it though a digital  reverb on a low setting. I did some country lick ,surf music(Pipe-line), Blues (sweeeeet) and of course some classic Rock. I'll post some mp3's soon.<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNpBr3K38Do">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNpBr3K38Do</a>]]></content:encoded>
