I was looking for an amp for a long time before I found this one. It blew away all the other mid to high end combos in my town and even sounded better than an Eden\Nemesis I played through. It has a huge tonal range from vintage to Jazz/fusion/modern. The only down side is its bulk (90-something pounds). It also has enough power for good sized venues with another "15 on it which also has plenty of bass. I would recommend this over the regular B-2 as it has a fuller tone with the smaller speakers.
