Amazing little tube combo. This amp is a hidden gem.
This amp is amazing starting from the way it looks to the way it sounds. i would have given it 5 stars but i really dont like the dirty channels all that much. although you can dial in some useful tones out of them. they are not completely useless. i usually set one channel to a slight overdrive for blues and the other channel max out the gain for more "modern" distortion. but it really doesnt sound that great or have enough gain. the distortion sounds fizzy. the star of the show is the clean channel....oh the clean channel. its very clear and refined. somewhere in the middle between a sparkling fender and a warm marshall and the reverb is decent. it has so many eq settings its almost like having multiple amps in one and it accepts pedals really well. my boss metal zone howls on this thing. i also love the LED lighting. i have led lights all over my room and its awesome i have an amplifier to match. the footswitch gives you alot of control of the amp hands free. it has a reverb switch and a boost switch. the control for the boost is on the back of the amp for when you wanna rip a solo. it has a 7w. 22w and 50w setting. so you can play this in your room and not have the cops come. or you can hook it up to 2 4x12's make your whole neighbourhood hate you, terrify your chihuahua and go deaf all in one go. (i actually did this. but only was deaf for like 90 minutes) its a little beast. it has 4 preamp tubes and 4 power tubes. which is alot for a small combo. the dirty channel can break up at high volumes but theres ways around it through the settings on the amp or turning your guitar volume down a bit. almost the perfect amp.
