is it as bad as everyone says? does it sound bad at high volumes, anyone that has input on the clean channel please do tell.. is it good or bad or what?
I played the clean and crunch channels in a store, and the clean is mediocre or so (for tube amps). The crunch chan is great if you use a little drive in your cleans.
That's sort of my impression too. I've played on one a few times and I like it, quite a bit. In fact, I'd love to have one! The distortion is very nice, from rock to staright out high gain metal madness. The clean channel was totally decent, but nothing to write home to mom about.
