GSS Baby Sumo... incoming.

Just ordered the 600w version.  Wife chipping in so it'll form part of my birthday stuff, so I won't actually get my hands on it for five weeks.

I'm curious and interested in your opinions and set up when you get it. Congrats!

 

I am exploring a variable pedal preamp set up with a small power amp for a few of the small gigs we do. The Baby Sumo is a contender. Others include a Quilter or HB Bass Block in a similar - but not pedal-based - approach. I've been down the HX Stomp rabbit hole and what was on offer was just too much for my needs. At least I now know that!

I'll admit I've never truly been 100% happy with stock amps giving me the tone I truly desire and I thought the Darkglass AO900 was going to be a one box solution, but it's too aggressive and totally the drive element is different to what I'm looking for.  I've run various pre > Poweramp setups over the years, so (for now) this is my desired route (again) albeit in a smaller box.

 

I was toying with the 1000w version, but that would have been a bit of a vanity purchase, headroom aside, I don't need that amount of power; I've never taken the Darkglass over 40%!
