It arrived late yesterday afternoon! I will be spending more time with it this afternoon after a too-short play session last night. so far it's a keeper but I have 45 days to make sure.

Initial impressions -
- It sounds great! Initially put everything on 10 then used the MV & Pre-Amp in various settings and it was awesome. I'm going to watch some YT videos to dial it in better, but seems more dynamic at lower Eq settings 6-8.
- It's loud, but not as loud as I thought it would be after hearing everyone's experience. With Pre-Amp at 7-8+, after about 3.5-4 on the MV it doesn't get much louder but saturates the tone more it seems. I hope this is normal. I was expecting it to be louder, but I guess since I am use to a DSL100H, I'm not going to get the volume and headroom of the 100w unless I get a 2203 or 2204.
- The dynamics on this amp is unbelievable, but comes with a cost. My playing sucks, lol... Every mis-picked string or string not muted properly seems to sing out. The good thing is that I'm pretty sure my playing will get a lot better using this amp over time since you have to be on top of your playing, picking, and muting techniques.
- With Pre-Amp 8+ and MV above 4-5 there is a hiss going on with it. Lower settings seem to be pretty quiet.
- Can get Plexi type tone out of Low input + Boss SD-1 - BONUS!! I have a Klon Clone I'm going to try too.
