The gain channel is fuzzy, anything over 1 o'clock on the gain dial is pretty fuzzy and hard to dial in. For a classic rock crunch it would be fab. It's pretty loud too using a 4x12, both volume controls stay below noon on mine. I like.
The fizziness of the dirt channel goes away as you turn it up and at gig volume it can actually be quite a bright sounding amp.
It doesn't have a master volume - each channel has its own volume which in practice I find makes it slightly tricky to balance the channels - there is a load of headroom on the clean channel so hitting it with an overdrive pedal can result in a huge volume hike...whereas the dirty channel is so compressed that you need to crank it quite a bit to match the clean.
You can switch the power stage between 2 and 4 valves and also halve the power on the front, so in theory can have 1/4 power...but I don't find this makes much difference to either volume or tone.
I have had more positive comments on tone when playing through this amp than any other...and I kind of love it despite (or perhaps because of) it's quirkiness. I keep trying other things and coming back to it. It is very simple and as such, you get a quality tone that is very dynamic and hasn't been messed with a whole lot.
