The new recto cab (which is actually a modified laptop with 1" speakers) isn't helping much either.
Yet remarkably, here's a streaming video of an amp which sounds good despite the chain being virtually identical: http://www.germinoamps.com/mpeg/gregclas45a.mpg.

Germino must have better recording engineers.
