I don't understand. I purchased a raven rg60 two years ago and It sounds fine. I play a Gibson explorer and a Gibson sg through the clean channel and it is perfectly clean and doesn't break up no matter how loud it gets. The gain channel sounds good too. I jam with a friend who has a Marshall dsl 40 watt tube, and I'll tell ya, it sounds nearly as good and JUSTAS LOUD. He paid $800 for his, I paid $200 for mine. If you don't like the distortion then put a pedal in front of it. I use a boss ds1 through the clean channel and it sounds great. What's the problem? It's loud, it's affordable, and you can use any floor stomp box through it. And they're cheap enough to by 2 just aa a back up (which I might do!) Just saying.
