Picked it up yesterday night, some guy a couple hours away listed it and I ended up getting it for $500 which is a pretty good deal considering they normally go for around $800-$1000 depending on the condition. I got home late last night and didn't get a chance to play it until today. The first thing I will say is that this amp is loud. I wasn't expecting it to be as loud as it was but the thing is... no vibration of hardware which some of my other amps have suffered from. This thing is built really well... it seems like it has taken a beating over the years but it's no surprise... it's an amazing sounding amp. I plugged in and the whole thing is just so much more reactive to pickup changes and EQ changes compared to my other amps I've had. It's so versatile and just sounds really good. I first played one when I was on vacation in June with my family. I mostly messed with the overdrive channel and it just sounded so beautiful. Tons of sustain and presence that most other amps I have tried don't have. I didn't stop thinking about it for days, hehe, and was still thinking about it months later as you can see. 
Anyway, the cleans sound very very nice, Just so perfect, you don't even feel like you need reverb. It's dry but it sounds great. I'll pick up a reverb at some point because I like ambient stuff every once in a while though. Putting the drive channel on is just as awesome as I remembered it. Tons of sustain and meat without a lot of overdrive. It's hard to explain because there is such a nice fullness to the sound no matter what the knobs are at. I am really in love with this amp and as Cam said, it's a lifetime amp.

I am. I actually didn't end up using any of his money but the cushion definitely made me feel less bad about buying it. I ended up taking the $1,100 and buying this, filling up my tank, putting $340 on the debt and $200 in the bank. I will get him something for christmas I know he will like, I'm getting my mom something nice too.
