This is pretty much a Jsx. Really tight, bright crunch and lead channels and a pretty nice clean channel. Would be nice if each channel had its own presence and resonance but it doesnt really create any problems, clean still sounds good if you have the the presence and res set up for the lead and crunch. Def need an OD in front just like any other amp when your trying to get that tight chugga chugga choo choo. The lead channel has TONS of gain. I dont even have it past a 1/4 of the way up w/ an OD. Also none of the knobs have numbers around them so its more by ear than saying "bass at 7, treble at 6" etc. The eq on lead and crunch is active. This is different but is good because each one changes the sound drastically. So the bass, mid, treble, level, and gain are all active. The noise gate actually works quite well also. These are put together by hand in the grand ol US. Mine had some microhonic power tubes but I swapped those out for some jj kt77s. Also the bias test points do not measure in Mv or Ma. I reccomend getting a bias probe and biasing the amp yourself. New tubes and a cheap probe and multimeter would run you around $150 give or take. Chinese tubes sound quite well in it but I found 4 12ax7 to be too fizzy so i recommend some jj ecc832 or 12dw7 for v2 amd v3. Overall awesome amp and I would def recommend it to anyone who likes high gain amps.
