This thing gets loud, sounds good, and makes life easier by containing itself all in one package. When playing clean, I often leave the EQ alone, as the RB-210's frequency response is excellent for most uses when left flat. When I do use the EQ, it's usually when I want to get a major high frequency boost. Unfortunately, the high band isn't high enough in my opinion. It often sounds hollow on the clean setting, even when the horn is on. Speaking of the horn, I'm not sure it even works? When I turn it on, It just makes a hissing noise and doesn't do much else for the highs. My unit might just be fucked up though. But really, those things don't matter all that much, because the amp sounds great even without them. The distortion is very interesting. The sound depends a LOT on how you actually play. If you play fingerstyle with it on, It'll sound almost like a fuzz, which has its uses, but unfortunately, it's kind of a sucky fuzz. It sounds like someone ripping ass. You can mitigate it by turning down the highs, but what you should really do is use a pick, turn the highs way up, and pick near the bridge. That will get you a NASTY tone. Think *Bad Penny* by Big Black. It turns this amp into a weapon of mass destruction.
