Well, the good news is it was quiet for an amp with that much gain, and when pushed with gain, the low end held together. (Maybe because there is not much low end??) The tones? Uggh. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get a decent clean tone to save my life. Hard, cold, sterile, and totally lacking in richness or harmonic content. The low gain tones were awful. No matter how low you set the gain, there was always a HEAVY buzz on top of the note. Turning up the gain, turned up the buzz factor in direct proportions. If you turned the treble almost all the way off, it helped a bit, but then the tone was even more dead. If you want gain, you will get it. There is so much gain in the first channel in orange mode, its more than I would ever need, but go to the second channel and go into the red zone, see what you think. It was like someone threw 500 killer bees nests into the store there was so much buzzing going on! Ladies and kids were screaming and running out in horror, as they thought they were going to be stung to death!
Oh yea, the reverb was as cheap and cheesy sounding as the ones on the old 800 seires. How do they sell these things?? Dont worry about what guitar you plug in, because they will all sound the same anyway. 
Can you tell I did not dig it? The amp has one thing it wants to do. gain gain gain gain gain gain...........all at the expense of tone. Ugh.
