Played it at rehearsal a couple of nights ago with the LP and all I can say is 'WOW'. Takes my tone to a whole new level. The only words I can think of at the moment are 'Big', 'Articulate, 'Defined' and other cliches. Sounds best cranked (there's a little demon sitting on the volume control saying 'turn me up, turn me up').
I'll take my Strat next week to see how that sounds but for the type of stuff I play (see 'post your band's set list' in time out) it's perfect. It's the sound I had in my head when I was trying out Marshalls back in January.
It's very loud, even on half power - 17 1/2 w? - , and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're playing live. It will probably benefit from a hotplate and, since there's no reverb, I may look into a reverb or delay unit as well.
