A week that I have it, I changed the hp for eminence legend 121 more music (the celestion G12T-100 is known for its acidity), but good I had it in stock ...
That said, installing a hp typed on a guitar amp modeling is stupid, would do better to put a broadband home (and it applies to line6 and company too).
For all the amp models are offered by default with a simulation of hp (you must disable every time) is boring.
100w into 8 ohms, loop (not tested), quiet when we play it, 2-button footswitch (not tested).
Noise gate, ducking delay are the most real use. The interface is well done, I have not opened the manual yet. Level computer but then I do not care ... so completely untested.

UTILIZATION

So it's simple, and I appreciate the second page of the amp that can act as models for the crushing of tubes, the master volume, the second win of the supersonic, the balance of the two entries bassman etc, c 'is fine and unrealistic.

Good sound, not so obvious unless already know the amps in general just move.

Not tested headphone nor in time.

SOUNDS

I bought it for its format and its possibilities for clean-blues and the onboard effects. For distos I thought to use pedal (s) upstream, often more convincing and practical live.

The proposed models can do without any equipment, however, is relevant in the mids, it sounds more real than usual, less trafficked.

Disappointed by the twin (and loud low bass) and bassman (I have a true ...) but surprised many by Deluxe-reverb princeton-57deluxe and saturax.
The field with the sag and more on half the gain is fabulous in a slight overdrive.

That said, the highs are too sickly-piercing and lack of scale and low margin. So even playing hard (volume models thoroughly and master two hours) that no pulse despite decibels.
My late spider4 with the same hp was more "real" in terms of attendance at high volume (and with about 25w).

OVERALL OPINION

Well, it's a start, I have much finesse offered amps, I look forward in the experiments. I think this thing is very educational, we understand the different concepts of operation of the scratch amp.

The party in power is not terrible, it lacks body, I will test with a tube output stage via adhoc box to see. And before this, a simple eq or ULTRAFEX in the loop, you never know it all it takes sometimes.

At home, low volume, it is not conclusive, flatness, a digitech RP70 right into an amp sounds much better.

The look and price, and power connectors for the format makes this Mustang a sacred matter.

So much for now, I update as soon as I argued a bit ...
