The first word I could say about the Cure is....SMOOTH. THIS AMP IS SMOOTH, both feeling and sounding. The bass can flub a little bit, not sure if it's the speaker or amp, but I like it. Reminds me more of old amps....the smoothness and sweeter attack. I'm thinking this is at least partly because of the Triad transformer.
While I see Therapy similarities.....Tweed, Blackface esk tones....this amp is not as broad shouldered as the 6L6 and obviously is less powerful in its delivery- 35 watts vs 15-18- but the Cure is way sweeter sounding.
Both amp seem flexible tone wise. I've had the Therapy for 2 years and still find new sounds/flavors all the time. The Therapy is more imidiate and present feeling. It's an amp that WILL BE heard. The Cure feels gentle in comparison....smoothing notes together and melding into itself...distinct notes but more cloudy chords than the Therapy, which has amazing note separation, with the amp overdriving.
Cure is a great house amp. Plenty of Bass...great EQ. Wish I had a band to put it in. A loud rock band with two guitars might be a challenge....most likely. But a 3 piece or other genre will be well suited I think. Bands that listen to each other as opposed to just get louder.
The Therapy is a much more authoritative sounding amp.
The Cure is so sweet out of the box ?...it sounds old and familiar. The worn jeans feels but for ears.

Here is another clip...bit sloppy but it gives the impression WITH EQ BOOST

A quick update. I just put a little higher headroom 6V6 in and felt a bit of the Therapy authority...still smoother, but with the higher output 6V6 to push the watts up a bit it gets a bit more breadth.
Cool amp. It's hard to not just play it all day.

No worries It's a great thing to josh around with each other!!! I'll hopefully have my cure soon. Humbucker sent me a reply that they were supposed to ship to them the end of last week! Fingers crossed I'll be able to compare notes with everyone soon!!!

Simpleton, Which brand higher headroom 6V6 did you put in and did it make it louder or just more headroom with the cleans?

Same JJ 6V6 from Apex matching.....but the current on them was 45 as opposed to 42....really I was just guessing they were maybe higher headroom because of that and they sounded louder.

How are you liking that studio cab? Seems just about perfect for grab & goes... Studio cab is awesome for size and ridiculous light weight....less than the Therapy head! The only thing I'd say is that combo cabs always seem to buzz or rattle a bit for me....it's sooooo light. The cab sounds perfect to me for this size amp. I haven't tried it with an additional cab yet. The only other 8 ohm speaker I have is the Weber ceramic Blue Dog 50 watt....I'll put it back in my cab and try it with the Cure tomorrow.
