In my experience one of the better sounding solid state amps out there.
But, for the same price, you could get an all tube Crate VC30 w/ a 12" speaker.
has 2 chanels that go from vox chime to marshal chrunch.
It doesn't do high gain, but does heavy rock/metal very well.
I own a Peavey Special 212, and a special 112 from the transtube series.. They are cool for me for clean tones, and can do the serioulsly overdistorted tones very well, but they don't sound very organic or natural on the distortion side. But if you like DimeBag Darrell's tone, you can easily approximate it with the transtube series. The clean side is incredibly pristine however, like a Roland JC120, without the stereo chorusing.
I like using mine on the clean chanel while at the same time running my Rivera Jake combo on the dirty side. It gives it a wonderfull sounding clarity and definition with the more orgaic sound of tube distortion.
