A great amp if your willing to lug it around

Sounds great, built like a tank and possibly one of the widest variety's of tones you can get out of a amp. The eq section is extremely versatile, which also gives it a bit of a learning curve.

I'll look around but I'm on a budget 😉 Thank you sounds like a great amp
