I have the 1x12 combo and mix it through a pa. I play a three soapbar prs custom through it. Has not failed me yet, perfect for a small church venue.

I have the controls set for what I do, and I like the built in effects, which I normally hate included effects on a tube amp. When I switched to the PRS the tone came alive on this thing. It likes soapbar pickups and has chimey overtimes that ring like a bell now. Don't flip the controls much, but they are easy to access.
Tone

Personally, I like the tone. I play blues and clean jazz. Don't push the gain and usually stay on the 20 watt setting. Really pick responsive for me, and the boost switch adds fullness and presence more than power distortion. I like to hear my notes and don't hide behind the fuzz though.
I think if you were to play death metal or power fuzz grind, you wouldn't need the nuances this amp provides, and should buy a crown power amp through a megaphone....plug your hello kitty guitar into that.

B stock for 600 bucks, it is perfect.
