"Awesome!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will always search for improvements in any of my equipment, however I think this amp will be with me a long time.
Sound
The best at reproducing the actual sound of my Breedlove Pro 25c of any amp I tried out and there were many. It is pricey but the sound makes it worth every penny.
