(More customer reviews)I was hesitant to pick up this amp due to the durability complaints about Bugera/Behringer products. Since I don't gig out, I figured I'd test my luck with this as a studio head. I've only had it for a month, so I can't really report in on that front.
The clean channel is very versatile and gets a nice compression at high volume. It sounds great with pedals -- using a TS-9 reissue, it gets that great SRV "Little Wing" solo tone.
The high gain channel is a bit fuzzy at high levels but sounds great around 5-6. Good bite and even harmonics, definitely "usable" distortion. Like any tube head, you really need to crank it to get the best sound.
It includes a footswitch to control the channels/reverb, which is all you need. There's a mid-range boost button on the head as well, but I didn't find the tone (when boosted) very usable.
My only complaints are that the reverb is not as good as an actual spring reverb, but it does the trick. It's a lot lighter than most reverbs, and I found myself turning it up to 5-6 to get what would typically be a 3-4 on a spring reverb unit.
For $350, you basically get a head that produces a ton of versatile tones and goes great with pedals. If that's what you need (as I did), this is your amp. Provided that I don't experience any durability issues, I'm a believer.
