played quite a few shows with one. Loud enough for just about any
kinda club gig. Love mine. Swapped out the PV sheffiled speaker for a
75 watt celestion and got some JJ tubes from

www.eurotubes.com

but, yeah, it sounds good right outta the box too. the clean
especially. The raunch channel is alright, certainly groovy for an
audition or a jam, but for gigs, i get all my dirt and scream out of
pedals and such.

sometimes these amps, after you work them to death, start rattling.
some guys call it the "tube rattle of death syndrome". Our producer
liked mine so much he wanted me to use it on our CD but we got it into
the studio and sure enough, it rattled like hell thru the mics. Live,
cant really tell..... part of the charm maybe  ;-)
