My setup is: Epiphone Explorer Korina with Gibson 500T on bridge, Mesa Boogie 50/50 Power Amp, Korg DTR-1 Tuner and Marshall 1960A cabinet (which sucks. I'm waiting for some custom cabinet based on Eminence V12 speakers which is 100 times better than that Marshall shit. Check http://blackdog.4web.pl if you want some custom stuff in stock prices).
I'm playing hardcore/metalcore and jazz/blues. If you're fan of high-gain this amp is the best choice for 300$. It also has good clean and crunch channel so you use it for any other kind of music. Distortion is brutal, but I think you shouldn't cross 12, cause it losses it's sound a bit.

I'm using it on every gig. It never gave up.
General Comments
I'm playing for more than 8 years now and it's one of the best tube preamp's I've every heard. If somebody will stole it, I'll buy it second time because it's perfect. I think I should change Mesa Boogie 50/50 to 2:90 so the sound will be much brutal and better (but right now it kills most heads - 5150 and mesa dual rectifier).
