Ooookay - here is MY review! I have been playing guitar for almost 50 years. Been in a lot of bands and have been playing just about every Sunday at church for about 20 years. I have had a LOT of gear. This amp is not just good "for the price", it's just really good at any price, in my opinion. I think what it boils down to is it DOES take time to work with the presets. As many others have pointed out, you need to cut down on the presence and the other low end level (I forgot what they call it) as well as the gate. THEN just take the time to get acquainted with the amp and customize your presets. I will say that the amp seems to be given more to overdrive and distortion sounds than it is to clean sounds but you definitely can get nice clean sounds out of it as well. I have just sold the last of my effects pedals and just use this amp - it's that good! Being almost 60 years old I'm not the best with fiddling with electronic stuff but I'll tell you this - it only took me about ten minutes to be able to easily work with the settings on this righteous amp. I just used it today at my church - black gospel church - and after the first song one of the choir lady's leaned over and said "you are sounding great!". I concur - I WAS sounding great! Another thing you should look into is the Code pedal so you can change your pre-sets on the fly. I got it and am very happy I did. I have three main channels that I have made (you can do 100 though!). I have a clean, a crunch and a super overdrive. read more Those three settings alone, along with my guitar's tone and volume controls cover everything. Oh, I do have one pedal that the Code can't duplicate, my Cry Baby Wah Wah. In summary - if you don't mind taking time to get this thing set up right, then just GET IT and have fun, Fun, FUN!! PS: One other thing I like is since I have 22 titanium parts in my back, this thing is light AND still plenty loud to gig with!
