I've succumbed to Monza fun for a couple days after a long hiatus. Try it with a 335-style guitar: That axe is so alive plugged into a Monza. The amp doesn't need to be cranked much either.

Les Paul through a Monza. I think you will be most pleased What's the first thing you plan on playing? For me, it's always "Paranoid" or "War Pigs"

I play with the drive at zero a lot. The volume has plenty of drive in it...the drive is like sustain and warm overtones. The tone knob moves all over yo accommodate the various levels of volume and drive. I play with it a lot around 9 o' clock but as the gain increases usually the tone knob goes towards the brighter side. two great songs too play with the MONZA. I've often wished I could play some Zepplin with the MONZA...the sounds are in there for sure.

Hey everyone! Sorry to scare ya's. The Monza has arrived, however, I was called out of town for work for a few days, so I only had the chance to noodle on it for about 30 minutes Monday. Even with that 30 minutes, I can tell she's a keeper. I'm heading home tomorrow and will be doing some recording and tracking guitars this weekend, I'll be sure to give you the full round up once I get to abuse it a little bit more.

If a brand new Monza sits at home by itself, does it go to the Tone Zone Alone?

First impressions after playing with the Monza for a day and a half now: WOW!!!
Holy gain, and with no loss of string clarity. Exactly what I was looking for. The fuzz sound you can get with the volume dimed is absolutely the neatest "feature" about the amp. Who needs a fuzz pedal now??? On first listen, I think the Monza also responds more to changes in your guitar volume and tone settings than the Maz. My Power Jet was a little on the shrill side with the bridge pickup on and the tone switch down. Flip that switch to the middle position and it gave it a nice, round, warmer sound that still can cut through.
So many sounds in this amp with only four knobs. Can't wait to see what I discover today.

I'm finding a lot of cool sounds with the Drive and Tone turned down low.

I like to set the tone in the middle position so that the treble is a little brighter than I want and the rhythm is a little darker than I want....seems to give me a bunch of tonal options. Using the guitar knobs is essential to getting everything out of the amp, but to use as a pedal platform I set the master as high as possible and keep the volume around 10, drive low and tone usually around 930/10...the fuzz is awesome...better than a pedal.
