I've had my Budda Superdrive 18 Series II for just about a month and am very satisfied with it. I sold my Mesa Boogie King Snake amp and purchased the Budda and am so glad that I did. The range of sounds is wonderful, it takes pedals much better than the Mesa Boogie, and it's a great match with my Charvel Guthrie Govan guitar. It sounds great with both hum buckers as well as the single coil pickups. The only thing I would change is to have a built in reverb.
