These are really diverse, simple digital emulator amps with a real 12ax7 tube in the power section which gives very organic, natural sounding amp emulations (even changes the actual circuitry based on amp class), and every effect is on its own knob so no menus to get lost in. Direct into a mixer is a handy tool to have for recording or just playing to cd’s. I have 2 of these awesome amps and just need 1.
