I should say from the outset that I got this amp to function as a Twin in a small pacage. That is to say that I was looking for a very loud clean tone for Jazz that I could fit in my truck with ease. It has a wonderful Jazz tone with a mountain of clean head room. It's a bit more mid heavey than a Twin but in a good way. More Grant Green than Wes. the reverb isn't even close to a Twin but I don't use much reverb so I don't mind. I did fire up the overdrive a few times with students and it was pretty cool.

These things are so solid. I can't imagine a problem beyond tube stuff.
General Comments
It's a canon. It's scary to think of a gig where this wouldn't be more than enough power. Great big one in a small,heavy,amp.
