Love the sound and tone.
The factory tubes are great.
The emulated output is really nice for recording.
For the budget I had this was by far the best
choice. I am very happy with this amp.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Easy layout on the controls and well planned design.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
As said above. The tone out of the box is fantastic.
Great clean, Awesome overdrive and the IFS feature gives a lot more tone options. Your sure to find the sound in your head.

Well made, great tone, cranks loud enough to gig with, not too complicated, yet lots of tone options.

The stock TAD tubes were too bright and fizzy to me.
Big improvement with some Svetlana, Mullard, or JJ's El34's, and a Sovtek 12AX7LPS in the gain channel. Now it has more warmth and smoother gain. Also nice to not have to re-bias the power tubes.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Well made, classic style. Very solid.
