I recently acquired a dusky D2O.
Would highly recommend.

There are not any ILF approved demos on the internet so I’ll make one soon
The key to the whole amp is the cut knob. It’s basically an inverted presence knob. So it can do the Marshall bark if there is no cut and with the knob at about 1:00 it is tamed like a Fender style.
I know a few were curious so let’s get some chit chat started

it's normal head size, maybe the camera angle?

It sounds good but 1800 bucks? Nah. I'm good. Their pedals may be something I'd look into. I prefer my 100 dollar amp Jack. My Mesa sits unloved as does everything else. I'm being overly simplistic these days. The amp sounds rad though. If I were going to spend that much on a Guitar Amp though, I'd probably be getting a Bad Cat combo or something else that cleaner sounding. I'm not being a purest, I swear. I SWEAR. I need a Klon too obviously to push more cleans.

Looks like a normal size head to me?
What's the head enclosure made of? Looks like it might be aluminium which makes me a bit anxious about denting. 12kg is nice and light for an amp that size too.

I think of this as the Just Nick amp, it's in all his demos. Based on that I would say it sounds awesome with a variety of pedals, although he has a style of playing that's pretty amorphous and chill.
I like the look of it, doesn't really look like anything else except maybe a slight Orange lunchbox vibe.

It sounds good. How much did you get yours for? I just, can't justify a price like that. It sounds really good tho. I need a guitar amp that doesn't suck. I wish they made a combo.

I like it, maybe it's a little Hiwatt-ish. Sounding big and clean doesn't come cheap I guess. I like the t-shirt too.

It's significantly smaller than a Marshall head and only 27 pounds.

Looks great dude.
If you want me to take care of that shitty Marshall for you let me know.
