I just watched Doc's latest auction creation, the Monza. I haven't had mine in rotation too much lately so I got inspired and pulled it out this morning for a coffee jam. Mine's a red combo loaded with a 10" Red Fang and it is such a beast.
I think the term "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" applies here. Usually I run mine pretty well gained up, in Billy territory...but watching Doc talk about the clean tones got me to throttle mine back and it really does sound beautiful in clean mode. So many tones in that little amp. I wanted to try different speakers and so to make things easier I put mine in a head cab that I bought here on the forum about 5 or 6 years ago. It's a red Z28 head cab and looks great. I'm headed for the doctor now but this afternoon I'm going to run it through all my cabs and see what different tones I can get.
What a great amp! If I didn't already have mine (2013 model) I'd be all over that auction.

My 1x10 combo sits under my desk and gets played almost everyday. Such a great, organic amp overdrive! Very underrated cleans too!!

I've been wanted to get mine out (thanks Todd) since I watched that video. But, it's in storage until the house renovations complete.

Todd, Do you notice any boost in the low end using it under the desk like that? Sometimes I'll put my Champ in the fireplace and am amazed at the bass boost it provides. Sounds like a 1x12 in there.

Sounds like a 1x12 in there. not really, this an open back desk so there isn't as much focus in the bottom end as a closed back fireplace might be. One down side to this set up though is that a do a fair amount of rattle, coffee cup rattle that is. I will typically use dark roast coffee as a dampener 🤣

What an awesome amp! I can't believe that an experience playing a non-master volume version (glorious, but way too loud) prevented me from looking into one seriously until a few days ago!
