Great flexibility.
The clean channel is a legitimate clean, with a seperate volume level, and seperate three band EQ. The OD channel has a gain and master control, and a seperate three band EQ. There are two master volumes that can be selected by footswitch, giving you two volume levels for clean, and two volume levels for OD. There is a master presence, an effect loop with adjustable level, and reverb. Also, a boost button that is footswitchable. The boost only affects the OD channel and gives it a slightly more raspy crunch.
It has a ton of tones, with heavy crunch and a legitimate clean. The footswitchable dual master levels is a great feature. I wish all amps had it.
The reverb is not footswitchable.
It is very expensive for a 50W, 1x12 combo. The boost button is so subtle you can barely hear the difference. Lastly, the OD is good but doesnt have a wide range of tones and is very modern sounding.
Built like a battelship. This is the best made modern tube amplifier that I have seen in a long time.
A great all around amp. Plenty of power to finally hear yourself over that pounding drummer.
