Manual suggest it can do metal. A few people said it has too much gain for playing bass. I know there is at least 3 different versions. Wonder how different they are ?​

From the manual...

"CHANNEL ONE​

The D-180 includes a two channel preamplifier with two separate input jacks and their respective gain controls, Volume 1 and Volume 2. But unlike conventional two channel pre-amps, these input channels are stacked in series so the output of Channel 1 is fed into the input of Channel 2. This enables the two channels to offer strikingly different gain and tone possibilities: Channel One is for guitar and includes incredible preamp overdrive capability; Channel Two is for bass. Adjusting Volume 1, Volume 2, and the Master offers endless combinations of sustain, overdrive, distortion and tonality--independent of playing loudness. All the great guitar tones are there--from the classic Boogie warmth and smoothness to the ultimate chunky metal crunch. So even though the D-180 has coliseum size power, it can obtain infinite sustain and a full crank sound at any volume, down to a whisper, and is easy to adjust."
 
No one other than alund have experience with the D-180 ?

The one I am looking at is beat up and needs work. Price is low. But not sure if worth getting fixed.
