For specifications, everything has been said. I just want to add that for this budget, it really happening everywhere.

UTILIZATION

In fact, I only use channel 1.
Upstream, I Blackstar HT Dual pedal, an MXR Carbon Copy and a multi-purpose Line 6 M13.
I use this amp at 3 / 4 of volume / repeat Live allows me to have all the heat lamps and a suitable noise level. I do not like the amp for 50W or more generally, it does not exceed 1 / 3 of Knob. So in the end, a super powerful amp is not operating at full capacity (which I find totally ridiculous).

For "my" use what could be simpler?? Level, and .... euhh .... beh it!! The preamp and amp this small combo satisfies me completely. I use either the EQ or reverb!

SOUNDS

For me it is very good except for one detail, high level (three quarters), the HP'm not too so, first change to make, change the HP!

Regarding emulations:
They are all good to be close to invoice. As I said above it is a good amp saw its value for money, "but" one should not expect miracles either. Emulation emulations are: on the channel, 2 we feel on the compression of digital processing. For me, there is a huge loss of momentum! Too bad! That's why I never use this channel, I prefer good old pedals and a multi FX for small delay and reverb.

If I should note that channel 1, I would put 9 (not 10 as it is not perfect because of the small high-volume low)
But as I have noted the amps as a whole, I only takes 5 because emulations are not transcendent and what effects it has nevertheless brought the bare minimum. Put nothing much we can not intervene in any setting. I would have preferred a little spring reverb rather than a DSP preset fixed! For it must be said, is not that bad either (though ... it's really not killing!) But made not to act on parameters simply irritates me (eg Tempo Delay , tremolo speed, reverb length, etc. ...).

So for the bulk of the default DSP FX and quality of emulations, I do put a small 5! Sorry!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months now and my config, I found enormous.
I'll even buy me a second soon to make me a small stereo since the M13 allows me.

I advise everyone who uses the guitar FX pedals and distortion / fuzz / overdrive pedal (screamer, RATS, etc. ...)

So for my use, I put a 9.
