Mine arrived on thursday from Thomann. Sounds really good and very close to the DAM MKII from 2019.

Re: Boss / Sola ... really?
90% of these went straight onto Reverb for 3 grand right?
Dear Bongo, No.

Re: Boss / Sola ... really?
I don’t really think it sounds like my #91 OC84 Sola, were those tuned differently over time? Not a complaint by any means, but surprised some people are saying they are similar.

Re: Boss / Sola ... really?
I’m really surprised by how good it is, very impressive job by Boss. It’s pretty similar to Pigdog mk2 (OC82D green jackets) in a very quick comparison.

It would be interesting to know what all the extra components are for. Just power and buffer circuits?

I’ve owned the OC84 Sola, I think the Boss sounds more like my OC75 DAM, very close in fact...the OC84 was darker, the OC75 equipped DAM has more cut.tigerdriver wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 6:18 pm I don’t really think it sounds like my #91 OC84 Sola, were those tuned differently over time?

Re: Boss / Sola ... really?
I guess I should have bought one when I had a chance. I thought that I would be able to get one on the second-hand market for at least the original cost or less. The cheapest listing I saw was about 800 or so on Reverb.
