Jet City 100HDM
| Sound |
This thing is made for metal. It is based off of the Soldano slo100 amp and features 2 footswitchable channels. The clean is nothing to get to excited about, but that's definitely not why you would buy this amp. The Overdrive channel is what makes this amp, it has heaps of brutal distortion that can be tamed with the presence and depth controls and the standard 3 eq controls. i play mainly heavy metal (Pantera, Metallica etc) and this definitely does the job, the amp doesn't have any hiss or annoying 'Noise' either. and if it is too brutal for your neighbors, you can switch from 100 watts to 50 watts.

I haven't taken this thing to a gig yet, but i have moved house with it and i am definitely confident that i can depend on it when gigging.

I bought the amp from straight from the Australian retailer for Jet City and they promised support if anything was to break down... but only time will tell if they live up to their promises.

| Liked about it |
1 - Brutal Distortion
2 - switchable from all tube 100 watt to 50 watt
3 - Depth and presence controls really shape your tone

| Didn't like |
1 - the clean channel is a little thin
2 - only the one distortion channel ( i don't mind but some people may like another channel for soloing, just buy a boost pedal)
