I play Blues and Classic Rock and absolutely LOVE my V55HD. I run into the normal input in triod mode and use mostly the clean channel with pedals for OD. Through a 2x12 or 4x10 "Bitch," it's warm, FAT, chewy, and freakin' SINGS. Sigh...
Ok, done gushing. Only down side is that its a really big head. Really though, it's the best tone I've ever achieved at any price point.
