I have not played these.  There other models in my opinion sound great.  Awesome clean and screaming metal tone with a touch of British steel when wanted.  Purists slam them because they are not 100% valve.  They were more of a hybrid amp.  The proof is in the sound and I really liked them.  This from a guy who currently played all valve Orange and Mesa products.  Play it and see.  Line6 and other modeling systems show it can be done
