Blackheart?

Any thoughts on this beast? They have one at my music store, but haven't played it yet... Sounds like a beast, I must say! And it costs like $200, I think!

It's supposed to sound even better than the Epiphone VJ, but I haven't tried that one either :lol:

Just thinking it'd be a cool little thing to have :D

Got my eye on that one Tommy. Just got a real good write up in Guitar World (Dime on the cover).

Musician's Friend sells them for $150 I believe. I like the idea of more tone control vs. the VJ and two tubes to boot. Should be a lot of modders getting ahold of this one.

looks like everyone is making the same little amp now after the success of the VJ. looks good, id try it, and probably buy. If its anything like the VJ then its more than just a cool little thing to have. 8)

There seems to be some great early Clapton tones coming from that

Any usable settings for metal/shred and rock either with an OD or not?

I think my wallet's wanting to throw up on a Music Store counter to get one of these. :lol:
