    Thanks for the useful and unusual post Melpi65. I have to be honest, I've rarely heard a Duotone actually used to play music before. That was nice tasteful high accuracy playing and a really good tone. From what you played the Duotone seems to have great dynamics and touch response. For my taste, in most reviews and example vids, there is too much emphasis on chug-chug-chugging and the way people perceive that same old rhythm should sound as it was laid down in the Book of Metal back in historic times. I've a newfound respect for that amp now, it can really play music.

    This amplifier is a really good one for many styles, i like it a lot....I always tested the Tubemeisters but this is something differente, more dinamics and headroom Smile

    Excellent tone! I don't have the combo, but I do own two of the heads. I loved my first one so much, I decided to buy a backup. This is fantastic example of the kinds of tone that can be had. Like Bordonbert mentioned, there is definitely an emphasis on the "chug" kind of rhythm tone, and this is different to that. Great feel in this track too!
