"Grinding growling metal mayhem! Crystal clean jangle all in one amp!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I've played Yamaha,Crate,Fender and Marshall amps. This one is a meat and potatoes amp. No frills, just rock. Loud and hard. If you use the effects return the tone controls are bypassed. It's basically just a slave. If you go into the input clean channel with your petals you may get a lot of noise, just a tip.
Sound
The clean channel is bright. The drive channels shred!! Not for blues players. Listen to old Pantera or Disturbed. This head nails them dead on!
Features
It comes with a footswitch for clean/drive and vintage/modern drives. It's like having 3 channels. Effects loop send/return. I run a digitech or a v-amp into the effects return for different amp and cabinet sounds. The mid contour control is nice.
Quality
The thing is built like a tank. I've giged with it without a problem. The box was a little bigger than the amp. It was mounted a little off to one side and you can see a space between the amp and the cabinet. I could have sent it back but I'm not a crybaby, it still screams and that's good enough for me.
Value
I shopped around on line and this was the best deal on a 100 watt head. My other choices were Carvin,Ibanez or Marshall. But this one had the most GROWL, bite and drive!
The Wow Factor
The look of that steel grill says "rock the hell out of me!"
