This is a fantastic amp. I was initially drawn to it because of the number of knobs (I really enjoy trying to dial into different tones). When i bought this, i hadn't gotten a chance to test it so i took a big risk, but was not disappointed. First, owning this amp is like having two separate amps in one convenient housing. The channels are similar but, have some unique characteristics. Channel one is a great sounding clean channel, and has a similar voicing to a vintage british amp when you turn the gain up. Channel one also seems to have a little more bass and reacts well with higher gauge strings (I play with 11's). Channel Two has a little more gain than Channel One, it get dirty really nicely. With the gain it is really thick through almost any pick up. Its gain is not like the rockerverbs though. This stays on the conservative side and would not work for heavy metal/metalcore shredders. I find it works best for punk, alternative and indie rock. This amp also handles pedals very well despite not having an FX Loop. I use a number of overdrives, choruses, delays, and tremolos in my playing and the tone of this amp really handles them well without the natural voice dying or becoming flat. So if you are into trip rock or psychedelic rock, this amp would still be a good match for you. The only thing that I felt like i gave up was reverb. This amp does not have a built in reverb unit which was a sacrifice because i love reverb, of course this was easily remedied by buying a reverb pedal. This amp is perfect for anyone who is trying to get a truly thick rock sound, or someone who loves adding pedals to their amps.
