Sound: 5/5
Loud as hell. This amp has quite enough power to power an additional extension cab, as long as it's 16 ohms. There's more than enough gain in this amp to get a sound as brutal as you want. The clean channel is nice, thick, and punchy. The distorted channels create pleasant, musical feedback very easily if you want them to. I've read complaints about the FX loop being too quiet, but it seemed fine to me. My only complaints are that the lead channel is a bit noisy and there is a tiny gap in the sound when switching from clean to distorted or vice versa, but this is relatively easy to compensate for by hitting the switch a bit early.

Equipment Quality: 5/5
No complaints at all. The thing is built like a drat tank.

Usefullness: 5/5
This is now my main amp (I moved up from the Marshall AVT150 head I was using). Versatile enough to do all the styles of music that I like.

Overall Value: Example 5/5
Definitely worth owning.
