WOW. sounded incredible. now, i only tried it for like 15-20 minutes, and i haven't played that many tube amps to begin with, so this is all just of course my opinion. but, in my opinion, this thing is amazing. i'm getting one ASAP!! PS. i read on line6's forums that spider valve clips / movies of how it sounds should be up pretty soon. check around there if you're curious.

EDIT: I checked out musiciansfriend.com a 1x12 combo $700 and a 2x12 conbo $830 Sounds cheap to me! Gosh... I'm getting hot and bothered. I think if this puppy sounds good it could be a great amp to toy around with at home. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
