Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

I’ve only gotten my hands on this thing a short while ago, so I haven’t had the chance to explore all the tones it has, but it’s very versitile and sounds great.
Unfortunately I don’t have the right cable to use the USB interface but as soon as I can get my hands on one, I’ll dive deeper into what’s possible with this thing.
I’m very satisfied with my purchase and I recommend this amp for anyone, either for home use, gigging, or recording!

Comment:

Very powerful, practical to cary and tons of sounds from the preamp section plus the effects. And It has also stereo effects and a huge looper 🙂
