sounds a lot better than the one i had....with the one i had, the clean tone sounded great but the distortion was horrible and sounded like a solid state amp.

and for the person asking, yes, it's a tube amp...supposedly. i'm convinced the overdrive is solid state in nature........i've heard that the amp is actually solid state and only uses the tubes to color the tone but really i've never looked that far into it to tell for sure...and mine was 2002? i think? i forget.
