    Received my amp today, played with it for awhile.
    First impressions at bedroom volumes & slightly louder in a crowded small room sitting almost on top of the amp using a BCRich Warlock (humbuckers) and Telecaster clone.

    Amp is bigger / heavier than I expected - neither a  plus or minus.

    1st 4 amp settings are very usable - Clean 1, Clean 2, Crunch 1, Crunch 2
    Can get nice clean tones but can also get a lot dirtier than I expected.
    You can set the amp so that with just your guitar's volume knob you can go from very clean/chimy to mean & nasty.
    The Bass & Treble boost switch are subtle but can be helpful.

    Overdrive 1, Overdrive 2, High Gain 1, High Gain 2 might be usable but in general are too noisy (hissy) for my tastes.
    Will need to to play more with these and setting combinations to see if I can find the right amount of scream vs 'rumble' .

    Plugged in a couple of bass guitars using mainly Clean 1  & 2 - not bad at all.

    Only briefly messed with the built in FX to see if any of my foot switches would work - and they didn't really; need latching switches not momentaries. 
    But it does look with the right switch you could control channel switching  & at least global FX on/off separately.

    Really just scratched the surface - haven't tried the FX loop, using other guitars, pedals, or playing in a more open room.
    While my initial impression is less than the 10 that the reviewer gave it (mainly due to noisy high gain settings) - I think the amp is a good deal for the price. 
    It'll probably be a real versatile amp once I find the sweet spots.

     

    After having played a bit more it's grown on me.  I can get some real nice sounds on the 
    "heavy settings" with the effects.  Yes, it is a bit "too real" in the "noise" department, just
    as a tube amp is, so if you are going to use those settings I highly recommend a noise gate.
    And, as Steven said, for the money, it is far more "tubey" than a normal solid state amp,
    and good value for the money.  I even used my acoustic on the clean settings and it was 
    very nice, and THAT is good thing IMO!
