3 channels: clean and 2 identical OD's. Master vol and a nice reverb. each channel w/ presence/vol/drive/treb/mid/bass and an eq expander switch and drive option switch (bright/nl/soak for clean, intense/nl/thick for OD's). Power is 50/22/7 w, 2 speaker outs into 16/8/4 ohms. 4 button footswitch for ch3/ch1-2/reverb/boost. Boost is 0-6 db, control on back. Footswitch cord is shorter than I'd like. Has an effects loop but no mix control for the loop. I picked up a carvin 2x12 cab, 200w at 8 ohm to go with it. Much easier to tote than my 4x12 which has become treacherous on the basement stairs. Has four 12ax7 preamp tubes and four EL84 power tubes.
Clean channel is nice and clean with the drive < 5. eq expander switch is nice with this. Get's respectable blues OD with the drive at 8-9 and "soak" switch on. I prefer steppin into my blues driver pedal from clean settings when needed for that sound.
OD channels have tons of power and punch, and really nice quality distortion and harmonics which doesn't degrade at higher volumes - just what i was looking for.
The legacy and asat special both sound great through this. It's not quite as transparent on the clean channel as my other amps. A little more in your face. The compressor/sustainer pedal helps with this, and i like it with single coils anyway. The asat sp sounds especially great on the OD channels. no need for humbuckers with this amp. The large coil mfd's overdrive beautifully and maintain adequate string separation, no mud. The speaker cab has carvin G12's which are excellent quality. has open and closed back option. I have used closed to enhance the bass response.
So far, quite pleased with the amp. Will need to try it out with the band soon. Fumble Fingers uses one of these. We have been discussing it for awhile now. I think i will replace my rack mount processor with delay, flange and chorus pedals to use in the loop.
