I have had this amp for a little over a year now. I hooked it up with a Legion 4x12 and it sounds amazing. I play at church, so it's not like I am pushing it. For the money, you cannot get a better sound. Controls are very basic and I like that, plus you have the foot control which makes it very versatile. Well worth twice the price.

I own this amp along with a Mesa Boogie cab and it freaking roars. The price you pay for the good sound is unbeleivable. Of course you could always go out and buy a slightly better tube amp for 10 times the money, but this head is great.

Good But not Great

The distortion depends on what you are playing, its not as full as my marshal mode 4 head, but thats a 1k difference in price. The head is really good for black metal because its really bright and the notes aren't lost in the lows. What i don't like is the reverb does nearly next to nothing. When moving the reverb up or down you cant hear a difference. And for playing black metal that is very disappointing because now playing clean i need a reverb pedal to get the Ghostly black metal sound.

This is a really good amp, the clean is amazing, the rhythm chanel is good and the solo chanel is really good, the only thing that i think would make it a better amp if it had eq just for the solo chanel instead of using the same eq for the rhythm and solo. when you connect it to the matching cabs it doesnt sound that great but i use it with a Marshall 1960A cab and it sounds really good.

For the price...

This is a great amp for the price. Features only got a nine because there's only one speaker output. However, with the matching cab, you can use the second input to connect two cabs as a series circuit. The reverb is great, and I highly doubt it's digital, because when I loaded this up for practice, I heard springs moving around, exactly like my dad's ancient Gibson amp which has spring reverb. The distortion channels are just that, nice and gritty. Clean is perfectly clean. Had this for almost two years, no problems yet.
