I haven't seen a clip that really sells them to me just yet compared to the evh I was looking at buying but they do look like a lot of amp for the money.

They do sound good in the clips and are pretty good value, if I was on the look out for an all-in-oner, these would be on the list.
They seemed to lose momentum on the first run as they were a). overpriced for a far east built amp and b). I seem to recall the first clip they released was of Paul's son demo'ing one and it was truely dreadful (playing and tone). Strange, as I've seen clips of him since and they are fine.
The one I tried would have been the lowest powered and it was a while ago so if there are Mark I and Mark II versions it would have been a Mark I.
I tried the se30 and se50 heads through the prs212 cab with a variety of prs and fender guitars. We also compared with a 71 twin reverb and a 78 marshall jmp head.
The amps are very easy to set up and have just the right controls for me with gain, 3xeq and master for each channel. I found some loevely sounds very quickly but struggled to get the clean sound as sparkly as I like it - I gig a fender twin, without keeping the clean gain very very low or playing with the guitar volume - it started to break up even with a strat at 1/3 gain but did turn into a lovely crunch sound from 1/2+.
The lead channel had some really nice rock tones very thick sounding and not overly compressed like I expected - single notes sustained beautifully and it definitely could sing with easy sustain. I did struggle to get a high enough gain for rhythm tones - maybe not gain but I wanted something more compressed I think.
If it had 3 channels I would have bought it there and then but it just needed too much tweaking to get the sounds I wanted and I think the evh is much closer to the amp that will let me get rid of some pedals on stage and have a simpler set of sounds.
The PRS was very good but the old fender and marshall were more for me - I just need them in one amp....
Edit: the first video by ddlooping above is a decent representation of the sounds but he must have rolled back the guitar volume to get that clean sound.
