I got one of these recently, and have to say try one, you will be surprised...........light, great sounds across volume range, and lots of built in boss pedals
users 'unlocked' a bunch of other amps too, basically everything the boos GT-100 has, and some more boss pedals, using the floorboard software

I had the 50watt but returned it for the 100w - which has a better speaker and an effects loop, and wasn't much more.

I have the 50 watt which I bought as a practice amp/possible small gig amp. The clean channel is good and the crunch channel with the gain set very low. I don't like the higher gain options at all - very thin, overly trebly.

Hello richard, I read on the big gearpage thread that the speaker on either amp breaks in over time to be less trebly, have seen some of that happen here already. I have rolled off the prescence meantime, its in the software on the 50watt
Have you tried the marshall I+II on sneakyamps via flooroard?
There's also a boss EQ and parametric EQ in there to shape your tone. There are some high gain patches by the posters Elantric and Beano, and Beano has great youtube video examples using the head into a cab

I'm not really a high gain guy, more clean to crunch -I use the amp clean setting ( which is JC-120 ) and then have setup the presets from floorboard with clean twin, deluxe crunch and marshall 1+11, and use bluesdriver or treble booster on low for crunch
I appreciate its not for everyone but I love this amp. I actually really liked the 50watt, its just that I was selling my tube amp and have a pedal board and I found that (to me anyway) my pedals weren't as good into front of the amp as they were into my tube amp. The effects loop on the 100watt is excellent.

In general I wouldn't look to Boss/Roland for great high gain solid state tones. The Cube series was awful, but I guess some people like them. Clean sound was fine though. I hope this amp has the option of a true clean, unlike the Cubes which only gave the option of a Roland Jazz Chorus emulation that definitely did not take pedals well.
