You know what I'm thinking? That's a neat trick.

What have you compared it to?

I'm not sure I understand: if I were spending $5K for an amp you have not heard, how could *you* make any findings about it?
BTW, please understand that the word 'harsh' is relative, meaning the amp sounds 'harsh' when _compared_ to other amps. In addition, 'harsh' is not discriptive of the amp's tonal balance, but of rather severe lack of smoothness, which again is relative.
