    Five stars anyway.

    This is by far the best soft amp I have ever played. It’s very, very versatile and both the clean and overdriven sounds have a wonderful organic quality that I have never found in software amps before. It feels alive under the fingers. Yes, for some strange reason UA has not given it the Unison treatment, but it’s worth it anyway and there is a workaround: if you put the Tube Screamer plugin in the Unison slot and you bypass it using the “footswitch”, the pedal remains in circuit and you get that extra level of feel that Unison provides.

    If I could only keep one software amp it would be this one, it doesn’t make me miss my studio when I’m travelling or working on location.

    I would love to also own the “real” version but Chandler has discontinued it and they are very hard to find.

    My new fav

    The GAV19T has a unique and specific sound. No wonder it's a studio staple. It sounds sweet straight out of the box and might just be my new go-to amp for everything.

    Just What I Needed. ( i can't believe i overlooked this before )

    i finally found my Lead Amp,

    if i would have known Chandler was right over by me in Iowa, back then, i would be even poorer than i am now.....the GAV19T has the EZ81 rectifier valve, which is stiffer than a 5U4GB, but not as stiff as a GZ-34.. i use the UAD Ampeg B15-N for my clean and crunch, ( 5U4GB ), so the EZ81 type sag is perfect for Leads, on that, by my supply response preferences.

    Loving this amp...

    Guitar isnt my main instru. Piano is. But for this album I'm producing, I've been playing guitar here and there and some of the tones I've been able to nail are just incredible. Combine that with tape and the guitar just comes to life. i KNOW it wont sound like the real thing but the end listener will not be able to tell the difference. this is literally my first review after using UA plugins for the past 7 years. thats just how good it sounds.
