Friend is selling one used and was very nice to let me try it. It emulates the clean channel of a Fender amp+has very vesatile connection options. I didn't try the connections much as my focus was how it performend at the end of a pedal chain.
-As a clean preamp, its really not bad at all as you can feel some compression you'd get just like using a real amp. Can get some dirt but I'm not a fan, the slight OD doesn't sound very good with my TS9 as normally it would be perfect with a real amp.
-The eq's do remind me of a Fender, not super versatile but nice for balancing.
-The cab. sim. is what let me down. You can hear a change in the mid.s but I guess the cut-off freq. is too high to get a bigger sound (ment to be used with distortion). Even when the high eq rolled down and mid.s up, the treble can be problematic with od/dist. The eq on my dist. pedal didn't help much either.
-Finally a big plus is its very silent, compared with plug-ins and performend very good.
If the cab. sounded good enough I'd buy it but if I'm going to use another cab. sim. after it then the tech 21 character series makes more sense as you can get way more tones from them. Let me know if anyone has any questions, I'll return it tuesday.
