I too bought the Cyber Twin. I test drove every "modeling" amp on the market and the fender won hands down. I play in a band that covers SRV to Dream Theater and I can get that from the CT. I own a 67 Fender pro reverb and always said I would never find an amp to replace it. Well, I was right. BUT.......the CT comes damn close. Also I would agree that it was "band ready" 15 min out of the box. Creating your own patches is a breaze and probably easier than tweaking the presets to get your desired sound. I liked both the Johnson and the Line 6, but the fell short in tone and being user friendly. Now with that in mind, the CT can be a little lacking in the gain. If you find you need a little more headroom and crunch, get rid of the stock Groove Tubes. I replaced them with Sov 12ax7's. It really made a big difference. So much I am going to experiment with a few others. I am using a Digitech rp10 as the MIDI foot controller and it sets up quick. The optional foot controller(@$250)works well, but you can save some $ if you have a volume pedal and a MIDI foot controller w/ a CC. BUT.......as was said before, USE YOUR EARS!!!

Hope this helps!!!
