Why all the VOS hate, bro? I like my G0:

Played an outdoor show with my 50w Marshall 1987 through 4x12 reissue greenbacks - that thing loves the wide open fresh air, they can bark. My vintage 4x12 with pre-Rolas stays home, I don't gig that one.

Last night I decided to try my Marshall 1987 (modded with PPIMV and Ch1 input triode cascaded to Ch2) and my 1960A cab (circa 1971) loaded with pre-Rola greenbacks with the Southern Rock band I play in. The band said that was the best sound they ever heard from me and they want me to gig with...
