I'm debating on purchasing the combo or not. The thing is, I really love Steve Vai's lead tone, and it would obviously produce that tone, but that's not the only tone I need. I'm almost always playing clean (I'm a jazz buff, so I need that thick clean sound), and I don't know if this amp could handle the clean tone I'm looking for. Do you think the amp could handle clean jazz (ala pat martino, jim hall or joe pass) in addiion to handling the lead sound that is so stellar (obviously I'm using different guitars to get the different sounds, but if possible I would like one amp to use, rather than switching around)? The demos I heard at the carvin site don't have any classic jazz sounds, and since it's a carvin, I can't test it at guitar center...

And how is it for playing blues (SRV)?

Thanks a lot!
