Excellent amplifier
Bought this amplifier for rehearsal at home, for practices and for gigs. Due to covid the gigs with this unit hasn't happened yet, but I use it daily at home and have used it at practices too. Packs a lot of volume and is very clean sounding/transparent - perhaps some would find it too transparent. Sounds very good with low volumes too! The sweepable mid helps a lot, and you can also use two different adjustable contour settings for sound (low&hi boost; mid centered boost) as well as drive (very mild, more like imitation of tube warmth).
I find myself using the "drive" at half and contour low&hi setting at half with mild boost at low mids with the sweepable mid control. I also use the clean with low&hi contour and mild cut to upper mids for other purposes. Haven't used the mid centered contour that much yet, don't like the sound of it so much, perhaps because it seems to imitate sound of tweeterless cab and I use full range flat frequency cab(s). Perhaps works better with other type of cabs.
Pros:
+Easy-to-use controls
+Good set of features
+Looks great and seems like it can withstand time
+Very good clean/transparent sound
+Fan is quite silent most of the time
Cons:
-No foot pedal function for contour, only for drive
-Drive pops/crackles a bit if you switch it on/off from the amp while note is ringing, same with contour (well, some other amps/pedals have the same issue, so it's probably some circuit type of thing - haven't tried with foot pedal yet since I don't have one).
-Not sure if these are really a problem, the drive is very mild anyway
