I picked one of these up on sale earlier this year and love it.

I played the combo version of this today and it sounds lovely! My only complaint would be that on the drive channel is far too harsh. For a light overdrive I had it at about 7 or 8 o clock, and once I got to about 12 o clock there was crazy crazy gain. Beyond that it just sounded silly.

The cleans were a wonder to behold though, I thought. If you know how to fix it, this certainly seems like a good buy.

I'd be stunned if one of us couldn't get this going with 45 minutes and some solder.

No doubt about it, someone (most people, probably) here could. Not me though; Freddy + soldering iron = disaster

Lol, same boat. I can wire a guitar no problem but I'd blow myself up with this. Note I haven't bid on it... if I had two bits of electronic know how this would be mine.
