"I buy it again."
Overall, I have been pleased with it. It has never failed me and I have always had a tone I was happy with (maybe not my dream tone.)
Sound
The fan makes it too noisy to record with, and in quiter situations you must make sure to turn it off before leaving it.
Features
It abounds with features to taylor your tone. The compressor isn't really that great though.
Quality
This thing is rugged. I have hauled it everywhere and it still plays very reliably. Mine is about 5 years old now and it still has the orginal preamp tube! The power LED keeps coming out of the hole so I finally had to superglue it in...
Value
I think that one could get a better amp head for about the same price.
Manufacturer Support
I had to contact them once because I punched a hole in one of my speakers... I contacted them by email and they responded within a day or two.
The Wow Factor
It's functional.
Musical Style:
Rock, jazz, country, worship.
