First off this amp is ugly as hell. Nothing about the amp cosmetically is appealing what so ever. From the stupid purple color to the hideous control knobs. It is as Budda set out to make a pure ugly amp and would stop at nothing to achieve that feat. A hand clap goes out to you guys on a job well done, mission accomplished. However, the amp sound amazing!!! Just hide it behind a Marshall on stage and see if anyone takes notice of how your tone sounds.
This is the head version of the more famous combo. You get the same great features and tone but just more portable and use for another cabinet.

SOUNDS
The tones on this amp are extremely fat sounding. They resonate very well with a humbucker style pickup guitar. Especially if you use a superstrat like Charvel or a Suhr guitar. Using a nice maple neck on top of alder body will get that fat tone to open up a lot more to get clean distorted note and string separation. Very great tone for rock and pop music.
The amp has a nice grind to it that is appealing. You get a hot-rodded Marshall style tone that will go good with just about any style of music. You can dial this thing back to get a good clean and crank it up for a juicy fat distortion tone.
OVERALL OPINION
At new these amps come in at around $1300 which may be a bit high for a lot of people, but the tone is extremely good. If you can get over how stupid these amps look. However, the tone is a great saturated Marshall style tone that most people will find addictive.
I would recommend this amp to anyone needing a fat sounding distortion tone very similar to a Soldano SLO and don't want to fork out the money to buy one of those.
