Amazing tone under the right conditions
Firstly I must say the red channel with boost on doesn't sound that great. For metal tones the palm mutes sound really spluttery and just don't sound right - even when paired with a tube power section it still sounds a bit off. Definitely a usable tone in a live situation but beyond that I'd not have used it.
However after watching Kohle's video on youtube I was able to get an excellent tone on par with my 5150 or any other tube amp. You need to run the crunch (green) channel, with the boost on, and a tubescreamer in front of it to get that modern metal high gain tone. Pair it with a tube power amp with a lot of presence, and a good cabinet and you will have a studio ready tone. Even sounds great with the GPA 100, just with a bit less presence.
Hope this helps some metal players get some great tones

What you want a Mesa to sound like
I am totally blown away of how this pedal sounds for this price.
I have had a few Mesa in the studio to record, but they are always hard to get right.
This pedal is NOT the same, but it basically gave me the sound I was aiming for.
I have seymour duncan poweramp and that’s it. Golden.
The only thing I would have liked was the IR output to be an XLR.
The knobs are cool because they look the same as the amp, but they are a little annoying to read.
People are sleeping on this pedal. Get it!
