I haven't had the 9001 very long but I think it's going to work out well. Very happy I got it. I had been working with a Fender Blues Junior. Nothing wrong with that amp, but this is more of the tone I have been looking for.

Playing the 9001 alone is pure fun, but when I was working to fit the three sounds together (the challenge of song writing as opposed to noodling around) I had to fiddle with things. Mainly taking extra stuff out of the path. For crunch, I set my drive and voice only. Sounded better in the mix with no EQ on the box at all. Surprised me, as the path was Guitar->Tone Press compressor->9001 with no EQ or effects->Yamaha MG12/4 mixer->M-Audio Delta 66->Pro Tools M-Powered. Running a cab emulator in software with some mixing magic. I think that's a testament to the good tone inherent in the 9001.

I should say tube 1 was a good one when I got it but I replaced and upgraded tubes 2 and 3 last night.
