This will be my last amp . If anyone steals or smashes it , me and my insurers will by me another . I can't be any clearer than that . It fully meets and frankly exceeds my expectations in every possible way.

Sound
A lot of versitility. I've had it 3 weeks now and after the initial hunt and peck through the parameters (easy for me as I am familiar with Johnson J station etc.) I am getting handy enough to modify/ create anything I neeed for any thing I play. I'm constatntly amazed at the combinations that can be arrived at and the overall range of sounds covered off under the hood.The only thing stopping me from saying 10 on this category as I want I'd prefer not to say it's as good as some of the British models that it apes as I've never owned a British classic . However I will say I'm more than a little taken by them and find I often gravitate to them as my first pick.

Features
Unbeleivable.... The only issue (in my mind) is mod/delay should be grouped with their own discrete architecture. You can still chain them up but they come as fx pairs . That said there are still all the necesary parameters to drill through to get the balance that I'm after.

Ease of Use
I personally find it very easy to get around . However I have spent years with desktop modellers in my wee home studio. A conventional amp guy sitting down for the first time would strongly disagree.( for the first 1/2 hour anyways) read more . Overall , it's easy enough to get around and after you put your hands and ears to it , the architecture gets familiar quickly.

Quality
Top Drawer , built like a tank , loud as H$$## , dynamic as H$%%$ ,I'd never want to be without it again

Value
Man..... I'd like to get it free with a pack of guitar strings , however.... This is the most expensive amp. I've ever purchased. That said I wish it had of been the first amp I ever purchased . Then I wouldn't have wasted all the time and money looking for ... well this amp

Manufacturer Support
Nuetral... It runs great and I haven't had to deal with them in any way so .............I can't answer this question

The Wow Factor
It can literally walk on water , no ifs , no butts, no maybes, its the best period
