-One of the reviewers said that this amp is quiet, but i play less than 25 percent (and my room is really large, with a lot of furnishings), because the thing is really loud, and the sound is really punchy (i have a passive guitar, pickups at 85% (A MUST in case of passives), and amps eq's in the middle, with mids boosted about 20 percent). When we played acoustic version of hotel california, in our schools auditotium (its not that big), it was at 80 percent and people in twe back could hear it. Really powerful, and quite good looking bastard.

-Also, when at full volume (or even 80%) - do not boost the lows (when people are unfamiliar with this concept, they give good amps bad reviews)! Leave em in the middle or cut em. This is true for almost any amp (We have a Mesa m2000 head driving 2 Eden 4x10 cabs, and they get distorted at 70%, with the lows boosted. DONT DO IT!) since once you go higher than 50% amplifiers do not need EQ "assitants" because there is enough raw power to drive the speaker (thats why you boost at lower volumes - to add "extra" power (in particular range) to the speaker.
