Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

This is a superb low-gain recording amp that is the perfect pedal platform for capturing your sonic ideas without disturbing anyone in the home.

When you bring the master volume down on the Corso, it lowers the signal going to the cab, but not to the direct signal. So when the "Boss" asks you to turn down as it's after midnight (and your still layin' down ideas), you can bring your room volume down and not affect the signal going to your recorder - what a great idea!

I love this amp.  :)
