Yes indeed...it does very well. The only one I've had problems with is the my mesa v-twin since it works (IMHO) better over a clean channel and the KA breaks up quite quickly.Does it take dirt pedals well?
I have had mine a while. I think mine was $179. It is not a clean channel amp at more than conversation levels. Boost it and it get dirty. It is intended to get a tube distortion tone at low volume. I would say if want a clean channel there is not much more than a talking volume. Blues breaking to classic rock is its target and it does this pretty well.
Sounds ideal for me, can't wait to get it! What speakers are you running yours through?
