"The metal tone holy grail"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Nearly a perfect amplifier.
Sound
With a Maxon tubescreamer in front of it, this is the best sounding metal amp I've heard as of yet. Not to mention it's got one of the best clean channels on any high gain amp around.
Features
The only two things missing from this amp are an integrated reverb and the ability to change the amp's channels without a footswitch.
Ease of Use
Beautiful. You'll go nuts with the Sweep control.
Quality
solid solid solid. You could throw bricks at this thing, though if anyone throws a brick at mine they're losing a limb.
Value
It's about the same as a JSX or Dual Rec, and I personally think it's better than either.
Manufacturer Support
They answer emails within a few hours, and I've heard nothing but good things about their ability to service the amp if it needs it.
The Wow Factor
How could you not want it?
