Exceptional? No.
Somewhere in between? Maybe.
My own opinion of course, but I find that there’s always an element of compromise in a channel-switching amplifier.

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

By extension, the Jet City amps are just as good - especially the JCA22H, which doesn't have the loony effects loop of the 50H and 100H.
Ultimately, though, this is one of the reasons I've gone down the Helix route. No need to worry whether an amp has the right combination of channels, because you've got all of them.
Rivera - do the Fender-clean, Marshall-dirt thing better than a Mesa, but with a less defined character of their own.
But as RiftAmps says there is always *some* compromise - at the very least, you may prefer different speakers for your 'perfect' clean and overdriven sounds.
The only way to have no compromise at all is to get both amps and an A/B box...

"I My own opinion of course, but I find that there’s always an element of compromise in a channel-switching amplifier. "
I suppose someone COULD make an amp with two identical channels and EQ up to the PI and switch them? No compromise but many people would feel short changed I think paying for essentially the same thing twice!
Just found the book! The Series One 200 has two channels each with gain, volume, TMB ISF then a master resonance, presence and VC. The whole lot can be switched via MIDI.

In my experience most single-channel amps do their thing better than half of most two-channel amps....
1 - You haven't done enough research.
2 - You haven't defined your requirements tightly enough, and then not done enough research.
3 - You actually don't want a multi-channel amp.

When I got it I sold half a dozen amps, although I got an Axe FX soon after as well.
The best thing about tit is the FX Loop, which doesn't sound shit at low levels.
