Hahaha. Very. I stopped needing to use dirt and EQ pedals because of how monstrous this amp sounds.

Thats so sick. I wanna get like a non-pro 2 sometimes but that is way too loud for me atm

Thanks! I feel that, it's a much cooler looking amp and a bit more simple in terms of controls than the II Pro. But being Non-MV and only single channel makes taming the volume without dirt pedals is much harder than with a vintage SVT where you can jumper the channels like a 4-input Marshall.
The fact that the II Pro has an input gain control, a tube drive control, and a master volume has made it the most ripping and tamable bass amp I've ever had. Except for the original Mother 200 which is setup the same way IIRC, input gain knob, drive knob, MV. Being able to stage your gain in a more natural way than just overloading your preamp from pedals gives you such a clear and punchy bass tone. Depends on the amp you're using though. Whoa, random tangent. lol
Edit: Here's an updated picture of the SVT in a 4U headbox made my Mission Engineering. It looks killer now.
