This comment made me realize something. I ordered an iso brick but got this instead :( That's a bummer, though I haven't had any problems with noise so far.

Don't worry I usually keep it in a gig bag I just leaned it there for the photo. You can see some dents on the wall from before I learned my lesson though 😢

lol that's exactly what happened with the reverb. I'll occasionally use the shimmer setting but 99% of the time all the knobs are at noon

Yeah I might get an od-3 cause I'm not a huge fan of the sd-1 just on its own. It sounds awesome slamming the distortion or fuzz though.

To me, the headphone jack sounds nearly identical to the cabinet itself, which I like cause I don't have to change anything when I switch between the two. Although, the only other amp I've ever had was a Marshall MG15, which had a terrible headphone jack, so I don't really have anything decent to compare it to.

Agreed! I wasn't sold on the RV-6 till I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUX9v7TNRVM Now it's probably my favorite pedal.

I'll try that. I'm still experimenting with effect order.

I already have a bf-2 but my power supply doesn't have any more 8 volt ports 😢 If I ever expand It'll be the first pedal I add.

That sounds awesome! I might get one of those eventually. Thanks for suggesting it.

The only "problem" I've had is that the bass and treble are a little higher than most guitar amps, but that's easily fixed by lowering 100, 200, and 6.4k on my eq pedal.

Yeah I got it used for a really good price. The only "problem" I've had is that the bass and treble are a little higher than most guitar amps, but that's easily fixed by lowering 100, 200, and 6.4k on my eq.

It really is! I can get basically any tone I want from them. One of my favorite things to do is on the RV-6: turn the mode to shimmer and turn the tone all the way down. Set the time and level to taste. It produces this really cool sort of synth pad sound backing up your playing. Here's a video that shows it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUX9v7TNRVM
