UTILIZATION

Classic configuration.
You can easily find the manual online to make yourself an idea.

I only regret that the controls on the front panel are placed vertically and if you put the amp too high up, you'll have a hard time dialing in without groping.

SOUNDS

I use it with and without a Digitech RP 1000 + Fender Stratocaster signature SRV guitar.
Music: rock/blues

OVERALL OPINION

I only got it recently, but I'm very happy with my purchase.
Clean sounds are awesome (especially for blues), the amp distortion is average, but pushing it you can get pretty decent results, contrary to what others have written.
It's also very good with the effects pedal because the amp doesn't alter the sound of the pre-modeled amps, which is what I was looking for.
