    I’ve got a .22 Caliber amp and am wondering how the clean headroom of the 44 Magnum compares. The 22 is a cool little amp. I wonder what class D guitar amp will be released next…..?

    Thanks, Andy

    So no one owns both and can compare the clean headroom of the 22 vs 44?

    You do get a bit more headroom on the 44 as compared to the 22 before it starts to break up but not a lot more. If you were to compare the knob settings for when both amps begin to break up, it would be at about the same setting but the 44 will give you a bit more volume up to the break up point.

    Thank you for the info Mr Flick. I enjoy the 22 with both guitar, bass & as a computer monitor through a 1X12 cab. I’d like to see a little amp engineered from the ground up to be clean. IMHO distortion is easy to come by. Clean is harder to get.
