Once set up and powered up initially there was a hissing noise but it quickly disappeared (don't know if it was the pre amp valve warming up?). Tried clean channel 1st very crisp and clean even when the gain is pushed up. The volume isn't mega loud on clean but more than loud enough. To be honest its when you use the OD channel this little metal box comes violently to life. I messed about with various tone, gain and volume settings it's a serious bit of kit.
I found with the gain at 11 tone at 1 and 9 volume on the OD channel was about right for the room I use it in. My son's girlfriend was very impressed until I put the volume at 3 o'clock (nearly full) and played the riff from TNT (ac/dc), she said "that hurt my chest". It was bone crunching loud.
The Subzero 1X10 was a pleasant suprise very well made quite heavy (surprisingly) I must say I was initially going to get the orange 1X8 but read some reviews, one from a guy saying he replaced his orange with the subzero as it sounded better?

So to sum up the amp and speaker surpassed my expectations, I played 3 different guitars through it. Whatever channel I used gave some good high and low tones if anything it lacked a bit in the mid range but that could be me. Also people say speakers need time to bad in? But I think my ears probably need to get used to this rig. I also connected my phone via the bluetooth and payed various tracks and I have to say it was awesome crisp clear and thumping.

I will have an extended play over the weekend (sore fingers on the way) report back any grumbles or cool stuff I find if there are any.

Would definitely recommend both the Joyo Bantamp Meteor and the Subzero G110 (Celestion).

Speakers generally need a bit of burn-in, I usually put a blanket over them and feed old guitar recordings through for a couple of days, though that's probably overkill. Just because I'm lazy...

Good to hear you're in the bone crushing business! You made me want to try that cab, despite it being a 10". I wonder how it'll sound compared to the Harley Benton 12", given comparable price. Is the magnet sized correctly for the 10" dome? I'm wary of cheaper cabs usually because they put 8" magnets on 10" speakers, and 10" magnets on 12" speakers, a lot of the time, just to be able to market them as better than they are.

All I can tell you is the celestion ten 30's magnet diameter is 96mm and the celestion eight 15's is 85mm.

I did toy with the idea of the HB 12" but I thougt either the subzero 10" or the orange 8" would be better for the size of the room I play in.
