Loud, good sound, footpedal, great distortion.
Heavy, not tube.
Good constructiononly problem is my handle came loose.
All in all, this is a pretty good amp. I wanted an amp that would work for small to medium gigs. I wanted a tube, but didn't have the money, and the saleguy said this was my best bet. It has and FDD button which is supposed to make it sound realistically like a tube. The FDD button adds depth and character to the sound, but it doesn't quite capture the warmth of a tube. It comes with effects, which are not top rate but not too bad. The reverb sounds pretty good for being digital. The distortion is awesome, has that marshall crunch. The amp has a contour button that changes the sound from classic rock to nu-metal tone. The only complaint is that the clean channel distorts at high volumes. All in all it is a pretty good amp, if you can't afford a tube, but want a pwerfull amp that delivers, this is it.
