I just got one today. Super cool little amp. The clean is fantastic and simple, throw an eq pedal in front for a boost and I think it's better than the 20th shiva I just got rid of and my xtc classic. Dirt channel is cool too I seem to prefer 70s mode and the vintage setting at 5 watts. I have the credit gain all the way down and the master gain at 3 o clock. I wish there was a little more separation in the 2 gain settings as when I have a cr. Setting I like the solo setting doesn't have enough gain and when the solo setting has enough the cr has almost too much. I'm digging it through a front loaded cab right now. I think that works well with the lower wattage so you don't get that blanket effect. When I run it with my xtc classic, holy moly I like it better than the 20th shiva so far.r
