UTILIZATION

Config ultra simple.
You branch, you turn the volume, quick equalization and rings.

The manual n'appred nothing special.

SOUNDS

Clean neutral frankly, it always left me indifferent, we can do much better. OD 1: this is the best channel. Looking back (purchase 98) this is really bluesy crunch with a nice attack.
OD 2: At first I was seduced. Now, what imprecision! But I play a lot of metal, the rhythm is very dirty but still good it can happen. When you release the agreements is the trouble, solo worth anything, it is unintelligible to be metallic and very shallow.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years. And here is the end. I will spent at MESA.
I wish it were a Marshall, its power and 2 HP. Its intuitive, easy to use.
The sound somewhat like but over the years is the point behind (not low) for me, the sound is undefined, cold OD2. And do not connect the pedal on the clean channel, the pedal is literally unnatural.

At the time I felt like I bleed level price, but now we must say that the price / power / look is excellent. The amp I'm dreaming, especially because I go to Marshall. 7 years ago I would do this choice. For cons, I waited too long to change it!
