I was running the 1/4" output into a 44 Magnum and Orange 1x12 and the XLR into a db Hype 8" powered PA speaker. With both on together it just sounded monster!
I'll give it a whirl through the PA at next practice and see how that goes.

Can't wait to try this thing at volume
One weird thing - I have set the global cab to ON and it shows up in all the presets but it isn't actually using the cab I have specified...when you edit the preset you can see it has reverted to the default cab selection. Any idea what I am doing wrong there?

Global cab is best used if you are wanting to sound same as your combo or amp/cab so it replaces all cab selections globally in all presests with a single cab file of your choosing.
Set global cab to off and it will select the individual cab files specified in each preset.
if you pick a preset with a cab selection that sounds lots different and switch global on and off i am sure you should hear the difference (it doesn't overwrite the preset its a way to make unit override it globally but cabs for preset are still saved to each preset.
£200 is a bargain when you hold it side by side against anything else at same price and also compare them to axe/helix. With control 2 included I'd say you'll pay £250. Without 150-200. Bargains cheaper than that are few and far between.
try and buy with control 2 as don't often see em for sale s/h seperste from gsp. Inly one I've seen is on FB group at moment for €100.
Control 2 is a serious bit of kit that would happily stand up to touring, very heavy and reliable.... Big advantage to a normal midi controller. Look down and see preset, see what is on and off, see your tuner all without looking back at rack to try and see that info. Means rack doesn't even have to be visible.
I do expect price to come down but don't expect you'll see cheap ones a lot as they do peform at a very high level only missing some of the routing flexibility and sticking of the current crop. But give away very little in sound. You want metal put a gsp1101 against axe or helix on 5150 and be shocked. People who 4 cabled them actually chose model into poweramo over real preamp
