Like a Line 6, but alot better.
Just got this puppy from UPS today... sheesh! I was expecting it to at least be decent. Had to set it up in the basement through half of my marshall stack, and it is LOUD. Didn't even go past half yet. The effects sound a little more true than a Line 6 combo, but maybe its just me. Great tone selection between the ISF (American to British amp) and the TVP ("True Valve Power", although it has NO valves I'm pretty sure... it does a great job of imitating it though!) I may like this thing better than my AVT, and if I DO get in another bad, I'd proly gig with it. Oh I bought the footswitch too. Has a decent tuner but it picks up other string vibrations more so than say my little korg tuner, but thats negligible. This thing cranks, though. I'm digging this SS tube imitator more than any one I've seen. Its only been one hour, but this company may be on to something here.

I forget, do you have any legit tube amplifiers?

Good question, Jim. Nah not anymore, last one I had I believe was a Super Reverb i bought off my pa, and before that... I forget. I had a Peavy tube head (I think, I'm not sure because I was pretty young, not the same peavy I have now btw). Before that, high school and before, had a Deluxe Reverb, Traynor Guitar Mate Reverb YGM-3 (was pretty nice actually, one of the only tubes I genuinely miss, had that one in college I believe)...oh and I've played though mah boy's older marshall tube head alot back then also (circa 80s model, cant remember which 1).
Is that an issue? Hah. When I see something like this blackstar, which I debated heavily on gettin.. yes, tube amps watt 4 watt are louder I feel than SS, and the tone is very warm and inviting! but A) rare in my area, at a good price at least b)doen't really work for what I'm trying to do cuz-- c)I'm just a high gain/compression guy, and I'd need so many pedals to get where I'm trying to be with a tube amp. Like really high gain, before this past year, I was trying to do like RR, Zakk Wylde, Alexi Laiho type stuff. Will buy another tube amp here in a few months, after money situation rectifies itself, hopefully. :P

so many tones!
Got this as an ex-display and it was very very cheap (£200!) for this you get every tone you could possibly want. 100w is complete overkill for me, BUT as it's not a valve amp, it works fantastic at lower levels. and you would literally never know it wan't a valve amp unless you're a real genuine connoisseur.
I will be keeping this for years. my only main complaint is that the optional footswitch is quite expensive... but the amp itself is great
