Gave one a try today, I gotta say the cleans are killer, it virtually out fenders a Fender, absolutely stunning as a clean amp... the only trouble was that I was finding it hard to get that creamy drive from it through any channel, it has the characteristics of clean even at it's most overdriven, which makes for a very articulate sound, but much closer to a Fender than a Marshall in overall tone, it doesn't have that compressed sustain and smoothed out transients. For me that means that I'm not so keen on the driven sounds as they feel a bit cold.

Right now I must say that it would be my clean amp of choice even possibly over a fender, but for gain/drive I think I'd have to go with the a Marshall for it's oh so forgiving fuzzy super saturated feel.
