Had mine a couple of months now, mainly for home use and it's been perfect for my needs.
Way less complex than an Axe FX or Kemper, built in poweramp, better price and some great sounds coming out of it.

I thought the cleans were awesome, great feel and dynamics, some of the gain settings lacked grit and bottom end IMO. All that changed last week after some further tweaking and the amp just came alive.
Had a band rehearsal last week for some dep gigs I've picked up and cranked through two small DV Mark 1x12's it sounded killer and could be heard over the drums (very loud) and bass no problem. I'd heard a few folk say it had a harshness about it ? maybe didn't cut it in a band mix ? Certainly not in my case, it was killer.

Deffo a keeper for me :rock: :rock:
 
This product still seems to be more of a European thing. That should change over time. That is probably why there aren't too many replies. For me, it seems like it would be a better fit than the Axe or the Kemper. I love the idea of simplicity and still having a great tone. For others that love to dig deep into editing, the others are probably a better option. As for best sounding and feeling, that is the fodder for fantastically large arguments. You just need to figure that one out for yourself. Good luck.

A lot of European pros seem to be using that instead of the Axe. No idea if that says anything, but I took notice of it. Andy James has some really cool demos on youtube.
 
I agree they are way more popular in Europe, especially Italy where they are made, not even many in the UK it seems ? There was a US launch but it's all pretty quiet on that front.
I'm not a tweaker at all, the Axe would send me mental so this is perfect. Yeah it hasn't got all the famous amps in like Friedman BE etc but it does have good sounding amps to make your own and get your sounds, not copies ;)
A couple of the sales guys have bought them from a couple of guitar shops I contacted, said they preferred the feel and dynamics of it compared to the competition. But we won't go there, it's all individual preference.

Another huge plus is I drive a Saab convertible, this and two 1x12's and a midi board fit in my boot no problem hahaha ;)
 
how are the high gain sounds? specially rythm tones. i know it does lead tones really good
 
I am in europe and I'd consider a good affordable matched all in one solution for sure like the multi amp. Also the resale value is not really "good" on dv marks which of course can be a good thing for second hand.
