Great Amp If You're Digitally Inclined
I cannot begin to say what a pleasure this amp is to play. The clean sound is what I play primarily and thus the 4 star rating. It sounds great clean yet the fiddling around with the menu to get presets that are suitable for jazz and the like take time. No big deal with time issues if you're one well versed with digital menus. For dudes like me (perhaps many) this is a fine piece of workmanship with the built in tuner and all but I just want to turn on the tube sounding warmth of an old TWIN or VOX and play mellow. Again if one is inclined mellow sounds will come out of this superlative amp and I am only thinking of selling mine because I just need less power and less menu stuff.
Like amateur radio many of the new gear out is menu driven versus simplicity. I am hardly one who does not like to tinker but when tinkering is all one is doing an playing your instrument takes second seat there is a slight problem. So this is based on my ineptitude rather than the amplifier's capabilities and build.
A four out of five is very good given my admission to menu driven gear as a weakness on my part.
You'll love it if you love reading manuals or have much time to tinker. Overall the amp is superb. PERIOD.
