SOUNDS

So at the sound, the amp is really good.
The clean channel is its very clear. He can play different styles of normment.
For the overdrive channel, the sound is more appropriate for the style rock / blues and even hard of the 70s/80s.
That said, playing with the equalizer, it has a standard range of sounds.

I had the opportunity to test other amp (Peavey Classic Valvestate marshall, vox), and the Statesman is really above the rest.

Frankly, at the sound, this amp is breathtaking.
