It's pointless quantifying any differences in words and I would ask that when you get it would you let us know what you think. Just to be getting on with, here's the review from the latest issue of 'Guitarist' magazine with sound samples included, but again, be careful about making sonic judgements of recordings through your computer speakers. As always, wait until you play it yourself and bare in mind that the speaker will need a little breaking in as they always do.(Dont forget to give it a try through a 4 x 12

Personally I think it's a wonderful little amp but then I would.
Thanks, Steve. I agree internet demos can be deceiving, that's why I think written references, by someone you trust, might be just as meaningful. I think I can hear the potential in the demos by Joe Bonamassa and Krissy Matthews. Sounds like it has a very thick, full tone maybe even a good bottom as in the Bonamassa recordings. The one by Chris George sounds buzzy/fuzzy and almost farty - but that may be my speaker setup, mic used or something else. I have to admit that one was almost a reason not to buy.
Thanks again, looking forward to getting it!
