I received my combo Friday, then had to leave out of town for the weekend. I didn't have long to play it, but so far - I'm loving it!

I put every knob at noon (except volumes, which were lower - and gain, which were both at about 3:00 on both channels), and I don't think I'm going to need to move any of em. It sounds great as is.

I have the clean channel with some crunch, which does 2 thinks. It gives my a little breakup on the clean channel, which is how I like it (used to always use expensive OD pedals on my clean channels), and it gives me great distortion on channel 2. I think I'll be able to do all my rock and hard rock rhythms with this amount of gain on channel 2.

There is still a volume jump between channels 1 & 2 (which is why I originally sent the head back about 6 months ago), but I can use an EQ pedal to boost the volume if I need to on channel 1.

Channel 3 does have massive distortion, and I like the slightly compressed tone for leads, but it is pretty noisy. I use a noise gate with that channel.

The power knob that goes from 1 watt to 50 watts is a great feature too.

The speakers are great and gives it a huge sound.

I think this will be a keeper and will fit all my needs. Fingers crossed!
