why dont you try one out for real in a shop? internet videos are never a good indicator of what something actually sounds and feels like.
The clean tone kills. In my current rig, the Rhythm channel is on almost all the time, set for barely any breakup. Then I use OD boxes in front of it like you would to push an old Fender. I use the Lead channel too, but mostly for solos, where it excels. You can run the gain low enough on BOTH channels to have it set for "Clean" and "Mild Crunch" too.
