There is a LOT to say so here's the info:

REM: No MIDI!
Me,
I use a Engl Z-11 for switching effects and CHANNELS same time.
... so no problem.
UTILIZATION
From the moment we are considering each channel as a different amp, it's very easy to use!
(Uh ... unless it's your first amp ... but I doubt)
The manual is clear and precise.
Here:

All sounds are good,
but it takes time to find its own sound because the possibilities are virtually endless! It's crazy!
The avantge is that this amp can grow with you, which makes it already a "relatively" cheap. (No need for another in 5 years
SOUNDS
Since this amp can do everything, it should necessarily my style!
My influences: Muse, Pearl Jam, Incubus, Andy Timmons, Coldplay, Joe Satriani, Pink Floyd, ...
I have never been limited.
Sounds more crystalline the fattest, most cleans to the most extreme high gain ... ALL actually.
Personally, I do not play "the worst" as hard alternative rock, not metal.
It suits me perfectly.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it about 9 months
I had:
Hughes & Kettner Duotone, '70 Fender Bassman 100 Silverface, Hughes & Kettner MKII TriAmp, and I tried many amps aures ...
This head is by far the best I had and I do not exploit the full potential at all.
The value for money is justified in my opinion and especially in the long term.
With experience, this choice of j'aurrai faster!
It stepped on stage and in studio!
You just provide a very good speaker to be below (Me, Mesa and Orange PPC 2x12 rectify 212) because the sounds this beast develops are so rich that low-end speakers will be quickly overwhelmed in rehearsal or on stage.
