Congrats Scott.

Ermm...
I hate to rain on your parade, but I absolutely had a problem with the complete lack of dynamics of this brave little monster. For the first time in my life I found myself creating some sort of difference between the loud parts and the not so loud parts in our songs with the volume knob on my bass.

And the DI was absolutely worthless. Beyond  nine o clock all it gave was an ugly scratchy faux drive sound...

Maybe I had a monday morning model?

 I have not tried the DI so I can't comment on that. Live I found the amp to be everything I wanted it to be, I had no difficulty with dynamic range. It's rare that I can plug into a "modern" amp and get what I want out of it. This little brute delivered in spades for me. I have always said I can make anything sound like crap  ;D
