My newbie came in a Gator rack bag, which seems very protective if a little deeper than is really necessary

Thanks gents

I just picked up an ABM 500 from the forum (uK manufactured rackmount version). Any advice for settings to get a warm-but-not-gritty overdriven sound for old school blues rock? Obviously I can play around and use my ears ... but there are so many variables in the controls, I thought I would just ask here first for a short cut! PS, on first play around the overdrive doesn't seem to drive very much at all, but it may be that I need to balance it with input and gain settings?

Couldn't find a feedback thread so let me be the first to say thanks to Alex for selling me a nice amp, exactly as described and well packed. Many thanks!

@Merton pointed out these amps and some rather expensive handbuilt European ones a few days back. Looks v cool

Tension of 760FL (and Mustang specific version) is higher than Low Tension Flats but not hugely so. Still very easy under the left hand

Another vote for La Bella Mustang flats. Specifically made for through-body Mustangs, with same comfortable gauges as light DTFs (760FL), suit a Mustang really well

Just bought a Sansamp Paradriver off Lozz and all was fab - as usual!

Pete bought a pedal off me and all was excellent! Cheers!

Roberto bought my Fishman PlatPro preamp and, as before, all was ace. Cheers!

Just to add, I bought a Trace Elf as a DI-plus dual solution to serve as emergency backup in case of amp issues and need for DI. Its not as small as a DI unit but its still teeny tiny
