This amp just sounds so great when cranked. The overdriven STR-Trem is just addictive with a lot of complexity and swirl. It allows you to hear the difference in guitars instead of turning every axe into more of the same. "Push comes to shove, I think the STR-Tremolo does have a touch less gain than the STR-Treed as the Tremolo section will take place of the extra gain stage in half of the 12AX7. On the other hand, it will still have much of the STR-Tweed's great tone, immediacy, growl, and touch sensitivity. Drop in the Atomic Boost, and you get it back and more. I really dig this amp and have been playing it daily since we finally got it off the bench."
