Well, WOW! It's obviously early days (honeymoon period) and I've not had loads of time with it but so far it's simply perfect. Straight away I felt and heard the difference over the Remedy, to my ears the Antidote is much smoother with a tighter bottom end, (I'm sure the Creamback helps with that a fair bit) but all the same, it seemed to suit me more. So far I've preferred 'Vintage' over 'Modern' but I quite like 'modern' with my mates Strat. Can do all the Hendrix stuff very well like you guys have already mentioned. With my DGT the 'modern' setting was just ace, playing through some old classics the 'Crossroads' solo for example was just singing, I was inspired by how nice it sounded. I had the Airbrake on a few clicks to tame her as i was at home but I started without it and I'm pretty sure with the 1 x 12 creamback I'm going to be able to gig it without the Airbrake. (will find out tomorrow night). No videos as of yet but I will get some done. Will keep you all posted chaps.

Thanks for the update. I too have an A-Dote and tonight after 3 months I used my TBP for the first time on stage. WOW!!!!
Now about that Creamback, Hmmmmm. I just may get me one in another cab. My bad back says NO! but my Tone monster (in my head) says yep!
Antidote Thread is starting to take off. I figured before Turkey Day the cat will be out of the bag. My New #1.

Good stuff What speaker are you currently using? I do like the Creamback so far and with the Dote being loud the 97db rating has to help. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you went for it. Tomorrow night can't come quick enough me, I can't wait to get it to the gig!

Ok, I'll try update you on everything from last night. I set up my rig, (airbrake too) although I set that to 0 as I wanted to see what happened. Amp settings I set before I even switched the amp on. Presence - 2 Bass - 11 Middle - 11 Treble -11 Both the volumes about 10-11ish Going into my Z 1x12 with Celestion Cremback. Started soundcheck and it was perfect. Didn't need to change any settings, didn't even need the airbrake and used the EQ bypass for solos. I was shocked about the airbrake. Last time I gigged I had the V30 and the difference is incredible. I much preferred the smooth tones from the creamback. The antidote in my opinion blows away the remedy. It's tighter, crisp and cuts perfectly. I used the 'Vintage' setting all night and it just suits my playing so well. As I've said on another thread, I love Kossoff and we do some 'Free' songs so when it came to the 'The Stealer' and I started that opening riff I couldn't stop smiling. I just knew that's the closest sound I'm going to get. Even with my DGT. The antidote cleans up very well too, I used my volumes on the guitar a fair bit and the split single coil sounds on the DGT, however when I did do that I stomped on the EP booster just to bring the volume and thickness back up. I have another gig tomorrow night so will experiment some more. However, I traded my old Remedy and Ghia head to find the Antidote and I have to say it was definitely the right thing to do. Please let me know if I missed anything. Cheers guys

I had my mine at the same volume level as you on a street gig recently, but with a Celestion Gold (100bd). It was really loud. But, it seems the louder you play 'em the better they sound. It was never "too loud." I think I need to try a Creamback tho....might be the perfect 'Dote speaker....Cool report, Sam! What an amp!!!!!

OK! I'll try the Dote w/ a Creamback. How many guy try stereo amps w/ St. effects and do it on a regular basis? I have a bad back and two cabs are a PAIN but I love stereo!!! Or should I just buy a Creamback to replace the G12H?
