It's ok. Got it on eBay for $230 and was able to pick it up locally and save the shipping costs. I needed a cheap combo amp for practicing at home and this filled the bill. The clean channel sounds ok. The second "effects" channel is what I have a question about.

Channel 2 has Volume and Gain settings. It just seems that whenever I turn the Gain up even slightly the amp buzzes more than it should and it just doesn't sound quite right. This is not a major problem since I wouldn't be using this channel at home much but I'm still concerned. Any suggestions or sites that I can go to to find out about mods and testing this solid state amp? I have built a couple of my own amps in the past and have no problems with electrical circuits etc.
