I promised stratman that after I got his amp I'd post a review...I'm about a few days too late to meet his one-week requirement but I've been a busy guy lately so I hope this will suffice.I've spent a few hours with this amp and have been having a good amount of fun with it. My first impression is: bass. Yeah, this thing can get a crazy amount of bass, but it never gets to the point where it is muddy, even when I'm playing through a lousy neck pickup.

I haven't been able to get any sort of quot;sparklyquot; cleans but I do imagine with a single coil pickup (all I own are 'buckers) you could get some of that sparkle clean sound. But don't let that fool you, this amp is by no means muddy and has a very clear and distinct sound.

The reverb is amazing. I'm not a big reverb fan, I must say, but if I ever need it (and I will eventually) I definitely have some awesome reverb there. I need to get a footswitch for it, though.My only complaint is that the normal channel isn't very loud - something stratman said would be something I should check into later. But at the same time, I bet I could get it mic'ed in gigging situations anyway. I love the normal channel as the best of the two. Very bassy and tight. Not a big fan of the other channel, but its still good.
Now, the only thing I still haven't decided is to whether A/B/Y it with my Crate amp (for gains) or to just outright buy a distortion pedal for it.Once again, I thank Stratman and Jeff_Seal for their generosity. Rock on guys.

Very cool! Glad you like it!

If you like your Crate's gain, I say you should get a panning pedal, so you can slowly pan between the two! It'd sound huge, and give a much smoother transition than otherwise.

This amp has a JBL D140F (Bass) speaker in it.

Spanky is good with a single coil, but not really achievable with a humbucker.

Enjoy this gift, and Jeff promised to fix that normal hannel any time.

I just used it for playing on a quieter scale.
