SOUNDS
This amp is not an amp modeler or an effects based mp that can have on board effects built right in. This is a basic solid state amp that delivers two channels one for clean and one for the gain and distortion tones. This amp can get dirty on the clean channels such as a classic Vox AC30 type tones or other British.
The front panel is pretty unique instead of the tradition style EQ names like bass, middle, and treble you have names such as drive, punch , and growl. You also have boosting functions appropriately named weep, bite, and link. This is one interesting amp and an amp that doesn't really need a whole lot of time to get it up and running.
This is a plug and play amp as the features are different but quickly understandable. This amp sound good with any guitar that you have. It is not particular to a certain to one specific guitar or single soil humbucker. It sounds great with anything you've got.
OVERALL OPINION
At new these amps come in right at around $400. Not that bad of a price for a nice little two channel deluxe amp. You get a great array of sound and also a nice reverb inside. I would recommend this amp to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money and wants a decent sounding solid state amp. The Tech 21 guys know how to get a nice growling sound out of a pedal and here in a combo amp.
