An efficient, no compromise rig.
This is the core of my tone all in one box. I wanted the most efficient, no compromise rig possible and this does that and more. I can run a cab emulated DI to FOH so I know exactly what I'm sending the sound guy and run a cab on stage for stage volume. The amps are extremely accurate and the response/feel is extremely realistic.

My mainstay for all of my effects
This pedal alone replaced so many other pedals on more board. It has everything I want, versatility, and quality. The quality of effects is studio grade and I feel I have not sacrificed any loss in tone from this in comparison the analog pedals I ran before. I am looking to pair this with a Boss ES5 for ease of use in the live setting with the midi switching capabilities.

Amazing guitar with a distinct voice!
This is my go to guitar when I'm wanting a tone with Gretsch like chimey overtones while still retaining a robust low end response. It has a unique voice all it's own and has so many usable tones for many different applications. I've never been into Bigsbys before, but this one stays in tune perfectly and doesn't get in way, so no complaints there!

I keep looking at the mira, but I can't get past the heel of doom! how do you play in the upper-upper register on a PRS?

My favorite Cabinet
It has both a Celestion Vintage 30 and a Celestion Black Shadow C90 which compliment each other perfectly. Each speaker is completely isolated with the V30 being a closed back and the C90 being an open back. The blend of both brings a great amount of depth not found in most cabs. It is also able to be ran in stereo which is a nice added bonus. Solid birch construction and it's pretty compact and portable.

I don't like the fancy man, decorative PRSes at all, this one has a good working musician aesthetic!

The all in one amp I've been looking for!
For me, this is the complete package. Glassy Fender-esc cleans, mid gain British crunch, Tight saturation for high gain applications, and super dynamic, buttery lead tones. The spring reverb is great and the Multi-soak is just an added plus. I've tried or own most everything in it's competitive market, Bogner Uberschall and Shiva, PRS Archon, Orange Rockerverb and Dual Dark Terror, Engls, various other Mesas and this one takes the cake. I ever since I bought it I have not had the desire to try a different amplifier, and that is something extremely rare for me.

this amp looks really appealing for its ability to do twin, plexi and hotrod sounds. I used to have to tour with a fender dual showman and a superlead to get just 2 of those sounds, lead tones required pedals, plus I had to use a powersoak on the plexi for larger venues (the showman's clean sweet spot is wide enough that I could balance my sounds just fine w/o attenuating the fender side). I just got frustrated and went back to ac30s. But I miss the plexi roar and crunch sometimes.
