Does anyone have one of these?

I'm thinking it could suit me quite well, but I don't want to commit to a modelling amp unless it does everything I want. It does MOST of what I want, but I'm a real bitch and have always wanted a modeler that did an Orange amp kinda sound. I was planning to get the Tech 21 pedal but it's too fucking expensive.

Anyway, how much headroom does channel 1 have? Does it distort much when cranked? I'd like a good clean amp to take my fuzz and M9 that also has some nice dirty tones of it's own when I don't want to use a dirt box.

I'd of course be getting an FX loop modded eventually too.

I'm not sure about the amp though.

I had one for a few months. It's a great modeling amp for lower volumes. Not good if you want clean headroom cranked tho, it's only a 10" speaker so it started to breakup when pushed. My beef with it was it sounded too boxy. Even tried a different speaker but it didn't help. My advice would be to go to GC and try one, you might like it, lots of people do, just not me.

What speaker did you use?

Could you get DANIEL ASH kind of tones from cranking the 3rd channel?

I'm starting to think more and more the clean channel would be an excellent pedal platform.

I've tried those, and felt kinda Meh when playing them. They're a bit...bland.

At the same time, I did try the Egnater Tweaker combo, and it totally fucking ruled. Great Fender cleans, sick old-school Marshall drive.
