Good amp, good choice! As good as the solid state amps gets. Yes, being a solid state it's still good for practise at low volumes. And yes I think it's been discontinues and replaced by the Attax series. I think! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Sounds godlike turned up. But, if there had been a 50W available when I was on the hunt for an amp I would have gotten that. 100W tube amp for 99% of all occacions is a bit too much.

Laney makes great stuff no doubt, but in this case I'd go with the switchblade, from what I hear H&K is really great too and the switchblade is really versatile and great sounding I think, at least going from what I hear from micke You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If it has a digital power amp then it's probably true. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I wouldn't really worry about the "maintenance issues", they're an issue so rarely that they wouldnt even really weigh in on a decision for me.
