I would love to say don't buy that and buy Mohog Audio, but I would have to insist on purchasing whatever will work best for you with the features and sound that you are after.
Thanks guys! |
Totally agreed. Whenever gear starts attempting to do too much, it starts doing everything poorly. One of the things that attracts me to the Dragon is the saturation/tape sim. I'm all about smoothing things before going in the box (my Fatso is great), so that's a feature that I would love to hear.
But overall, an 1176 is an 1176 is an 1176, and too many features are too many features are... you get the idea. There is a reason why the 1176 is such a cherished piece of gear. Simple and great sound. Keep doing your thing and don't water it down a bit. thumbsup
But anyway, this thing is definitely on my radar and I'll be trying one out whenever my wallet allows. I just picked up an Ensemble and a tape machine, so I have some waiting to do before I can get all slutty again.
