In the recap video ill be posting in a day or two, I make comparisons to my Alta MXR pretty often as that's my frame of reference. The Varg is honestly better in every way. If i was being super critical, maybe the throttle mapping on the Alta is as little more forgiving but that's also because the Varg has much more power on tap at your right wrist. I didn't actually try a 50hp power map and in hindsight i should have to make the comparison to my MXR. I spent most of the time between 60-65hp and played around with 80hp for giggles.
