It's been a long time since my last post here!
Well, I got the amp a couple months ago. As for a practice amp, there is no better buy. I love this thing. I love hitting a button and everything is lined up. It sounds spectacular compared to other modeling amps. Sure, the real thing sounds better, but this is one cutting litte rocker! (I have the 2x10 version) If you're looking for the ultimate bedroom recording amp or small rehearsal/gig, this amp fucking kills.
What I love:
-Clean. Very clear sound on most channels.
-Memory. One flick of a button has the one sound I spent an hour dicking with to make perfect. Also remembers where you were from the last time you jammed.
-Straightforward. If you want to plug in and jam, this will let you do it.
-Variety of sounds.
-VOLUME. Not extremely clear when cranked up really high, but it holds its clarity quite well put next to other SS amps.
I'm sure there're others, just can't think of them at the moment.
What I thought sucked:
-Tweakability of FX really blew. You have one knob, that's it. I can't have a really wet, yet slow phaser. The wetness and rate go up and down with eachother.
-Sturdiness is questionable. This doesn't look like it could withstand being slammed around. I wouldn't take this on a tour with me...
-The insane channel. What the fuck? One sound is good, the other sounds like complete nuclear asshole assult. If you've never heard it, God loves you, if you have, my condolences to your ears.

There's your practice evaluation, will be back with a few gigging stories and reviews in the next month or so. So far, it sounds like I have both a Jazz and black metal gig happening soon. Will let you know how the amp did ASAP.
