UTILIZATION

No manual (this amp a team studio where I work again with a cover band)
get a good sound? This is where it goes bad. The clean is your close. The crunch means. Warp and emulate lead to perfection ... a swarm of bees into madness. Jamis managed to reach one's a little bit past the stage of proper crunch.
A little time is needed to find the key to the assignment of effects, not really intuitive.

SOUNDS

As mentioned above +, apart from the clean, this amp is a hive buzzing. As the clean is not tase my tea ...
I tried the bug with different guitars (Ibanez SZ 320, Les Paul Studio, Epi Sheraton, Stratocaster Highway) and the overdrive is still zero. Bright lights. But compare what is comparable. All in all, the series of Laney Tube Fusion or a Peavey Transtube sound better.
The effects themselves very honest.
Perhaps a good distortion pedal will raise the matter. But it is then in a further budget ... So move to a small tube combo (Randall RG50TC for lovers of big distos example)

OVERALL OPINION

To be clear, the price is not a bad amp. But do not those who compare it to tube amps, because it is far! I do NOT buy it! Once we tasted the lights, it's really hard to win.
