Ok but not great for me
I really wanted to like this and replace my KSR Ceres and Victory Kraken. Ain't gonna happen. I don't think the valve works at full potential....pretty sure doesn't draw the current as is meant to...the fillament doesn't get red as it should. The lows and mids are there,but the high frequences are thin and annoying to my years.The Marshall channel could be one of the greatest ever .Don't care about the Soldano one. The clean channel is fantastic.

Great, but not for me.
My idea was to take a tube power amp on the road, and leave my vintage plexis and bassman in the studio. If the amp falied, would have the xlr out....
Well, every channel has this piercing highs, on every guitat that I own I couldnt get anywhere near of my sound.
The clean channel is ok, but not like the bassman59, bassman100 silverface, vibrolux or delux reverb that I own..worlds apart.
The plexi channel, might get closer to my cranked plexis but there is no clean in this channel....and a plexi, takes pedals like no one, and this as the front end doesnt.
The soldano channel was the best, but I dont do high gain.
Overall, if it didnt point you to the original amps, could be a good thing on its own, but stating it sounds like something it doesent...well it might still be great, but not for me.

Good, not great
Bought this to run straight into mixing desk for small gigs.
The clean sound is really bad, and very compressed. No matter what i did, i could not get a decent sound from it. (Ran into 2 x RCF J8s, and also Victory Duchess - same result...clean sound was terrible).
The crunch and heavy channels are fantastic, and very easy to get a sound from, and the XLR out is very useful. Pity it doesn't have reverb. It will give you everything from a country crunch to Slayer! I found it great for an AC/DC type sound.
Over all, i would give a 7/10. Easy to use and ideal as a back up, but the clean channel really lets it down.
