Can it make a Duck Call sound?

This Duwnwich DA120 overdrive pedal is supposed to emulate a cranked OR/GT120, and gets some pretty convincing "Dopesmoker in a box" sounds:

Orange Tremverb 30phpBB [media]I'm not sure how it sounds in person, but I really like the functionality of the thing. If it works as intended you get to tailor the headroom to your setting. That serves the functionality of three amps. At least, in theory, that's the goal. I'd love to have a Fender sounding amp with those power settings and features.

Maybe something from Carr? Those go for about half price used and often feature attenuators, etc.

The curious thing about that Orange is what they're doing for the bedroom mode. I'd guess its a built in, fixed attenuator. A pretty typical approach might be a pentode/triode switch but thats not really gonna get you down to "2 watt" quiet.

Hmmm. I have very little knowledge of those smaller amp companies. That is likely where such feature sets originated. I just feel like everyone should be making their own flavor of super flexible amps in this format.

BTW, how is it that some huge amps, like some Fender Twin Reverbs can get a nice (not amazing but darned nice) clean sound at rather low volume when much smaller amps struggle to do this. Is it the speaker model (I'm basing this on several reissues played in stores)? Is it the 2x12 setup? Open back? My champ running through a 2x10 sounded like it was trying to punch the walls down on 1.

My champ running through a 2x10 sounded like it was trying to punch the walls down on 1."Nice" is subjective and I cant really comment on that, however I they do ease into volume pretty decently, where as some amps go from silent to pretty damn rather quicky. That could be due to the Fender preamp being lower gain overall compared to, say, a plexi. But it could also just be the volume pot, tbh. Not all audio-taper pots are tapered at the same rate.
