Mamba & S1S0 landed tonight. I played just long enough to hear all the switches. Mamba I had before, so distinct and angry. I've shared my love for Mamba countless times before, so today I'll focus my post on the S1S0
The S1S0 was much anticpated....I passed on a local 5150 craig's list deal and chose to go the Salvaition route. I figured Craig's List deals are always shady, it's an older amp, too much of a chance for issues. Plus, the 5150 is basically one tone (maybe 3), compared to a google of Salvo toggle options.
Well the S1S0 is a freaking beast. Stage I with Fire switch engaged, a slight boost of mids, and it is thunder! The Mid Freq selector allows even more insane low tones down in the low mids (or friendlier hi mids). I remember mts member tonymustang commenting about how his mts amp came up short compared to a bandmates 5150 girth- this module would be the answer. It has more low end power than any amp I ever played.
I could see how some deal it off, it is a specific tone, but my God, the thing it does it does with ferocity. I think it would get friendlier VH tones, I'll have to play with all the toggles, but first impression: I wanted a jugular attack and this mod rips it out! Clips/Video upcoming....
