This is a great flexible amplifier to have in the studio.
The clea sound is excellent and if you place appropriate pedals in front of it (Tube screamer for example) it delivers an lovely overdrive tone.
It is also an amp that many gigging musicians have used, so they feel comfortable using it in the studio. It is also a very loud amp if you want to take it on the road.
Last but not least, it has wonderful effects. The classic roland chorus and reverb.
Hard to beat this amp. Its one of the few that works for Metal and Jazz. Hard to believe but its true.
