I am awaiting the delivery of 12062. I ordered it with the Loop and MV. This is going to be a long month or so.

Do you find the MV useful? From some of the other posts I see you have 12056 with loop and mv just like the one I ordered.
My concern is..with the mv turned all the way up does that effectively remove the mv from the circuit so it works as if it didn't have one? Thanks

Thursday my amp will arrive. Cali I saw your youtube videos. That amp sounds great. I have a 1994 Historic collection LP 59. It has over the top flame. From what I have read it is from a run that Tom Murphy built when he was at Gibson. It has double white duncan 59's in it with the covers removed. I also play an EJ Strat. I have a Metroamp 100w Plexi that I'm going to use as a wet amp for reverb and delay. I think next I'm going to build a 2203 for the high gain stuff. After that if my wife doesn't divorce me a 45/100 from George. The 45/100 sound files on George's site are unbelievable. There simply is no amp available in GC or MF that can sound like that.
