I had one for a while- nice amp when you dialed it in, but took fucking days of tweaking to find a good tone. Been playing a guys from work peavy transtube 15 watt practice amp- surprisingly good! Lovely warm clean channel and a very 80s sounding crunch sound.

Maybe if you tweak dials like Dan Agosto.
It's got like, what... 5 dials a channel at most?

i think.... the reverb sucks if its at 0 it sounds the same as if it were at 10
ugly but reliable

Some times the ugliest gear is the best gear, but then some times the ugliest gear us terrible.

I had the 15 watt, 8" speaker version of that amp. So in theory, it was nothing like that amp.
However, I remember the reverb never working, and the eq did pretty much nothing. When someone gave me a mgd30fx marshall, I wondered why noone else found this magical piece of gear. Then of course I tried out valve amps, and was blown away.
I have used the more higher wattage transtube amps, and they sound okay for what they do, and their eq's work well.

To be fair, it was also when I was a n00b, so it could have changed he sound and I just didnt notice. They're pretty good amps when all is said and done. Reliable if not anything else.
