I went through a few different amp heads and pedal board amps before finally settling on the Hotone Mojo Attack. I'm currently running it through an 8ohm Fender 12" cab, as well as direct in a couple other situations. One live situation I had it both in my cab behind me, and lined into the PA to fill out the three-piece. Got ton of compliments on my 'smooth distortion' sound. With a three-piece you gotta fill it up, but try to avoid distorted noise. I have a behringer OD pedal into a behringer EQ pedal for a convenient configuration that works for me. Still experimenting on the delay through the effects loop, or at the end of the inbound pedal.Regarding volume, like I said, I'm running into 8ohm 12" so I'm not getting the full 75 watts, but in rehearsal it was more than enough, and would be more than enough in a two-guitar band running through cab only. But in a 3-piece I like a little guitar lined in the PA - this is perfect and allows for both. So volume is not problem. I get the tone I want, controlled feedback, etc. The built in reverb isn't 'the best' but I'm using it barely on. Sounds too 'large' for my tastes, but it would be easy to use a reverb pedal based on tastes. Fine for me at this point and convenient that it's there until I WANT to add a pedal.I see no reason to send this back and LOVE that I don't have to haul a big amp head or cabinet around. Too old for 4x12s, prefer single 12 and line in - this allows it and does it for me! Likely buy another one as a backup,… read more but in no hurry so may wait to see if they come out with a newer model. Either way, I like the idea of having a second one available if needed.
