Stupid Good.
I took a chance on this amp, it was sitting at a local guitar shop for the last 4 years or so, since the amps were released, read a few reviews that weren't overly pleasant, but I had never plugged into a PRS amp before and I've had a certain sound in my head that I just haven't been able to find. This is it. The first note had me in love, the warm and smooth but clear and distinct clean tones are to die for. I'm still testing out the lead channel but I've gotten some nest sounds out of it, I'll probably stick to pedals mostly though. As for the build this thing feels like a tank, its larger enclosure than my AC15C1 but the weight isn't too bad. This amp just sounds so full, I find you can dial in great tones at both high and low volumes, the 30 watts provides a fair bit of head room for a guitar loaded with single coils, humbuckers tend to break up quicker. All in all I'm in love! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well balanced amp that you can really dial in to your own unique sound.

Cool Little Overdrive
This little guy is pretty cool as far as overdrives go, it has your typical gain knob, but that's about as traditional as it gets. The volts knob is essentially the volume however the way it works is as its rolled all the way to the right you get your full 9 volts, roll it to the left and suddenly the magic starts to happen its starts sputtering because its providing minimal power to the pedal, this achieves a great Jack White tone. This pedal does take some time to play around with to find the sweet spot with the bias dial, which allows you to control how emphasized that sputtering effect becomes. I personally love to run this at the end of my gain pedal chain and I use it mostly in conjunction with my HomeBrew Electronics Fuzz, combined this two pedals create an amazing effect.
