I did, however, sell it less than a day later. Horrible, horrible thing.
Seriously though, who needs fx loops, front end everything all day long for me.
Actually it could only do one of those perfectly, a second one not bad but not exact, and the third one not at all - let alone more than one of them at the same time, due to the completely shared controls. It was just about possible to set up a good clean and a good lead at the same time, using the graphic EQ on the lead - but impossible to get anything even approaching a Marshall sound on the second channel, even disregarding the other two.
It put me off Mesa/Boogie for years. Some of you will find that funny .

In hindsight, I think it may have been faulty. Sounded nothing like the demos I'd heard or the one I tried in the shop. Sent it back and bought an MJW. Happy ending.
Was in in my house less than 24hrs.
I tried a Marshall 2205 twice, but didn't get on with either of them.
I sold on a Traynor YCV20WR because it didn't do really clean (lovely "not-quite-clean" sound, and great crunch/drive sound).
Other than that, I've still got 'em all

About a year after I sold it the new owner brought it back, dead - guess what had burned out. I did fix it for him for cheaply, but it would have been a right pain if it had happened at a gig.
Even now I sometimes wonder about buying another one because I miss that sound so much - but then I think about the burning PCB, the noisy reverb, the loud pop when changing channels, the poor valve access and the general awkward access to work on anything and go off the idea again.
