arty07: Just got one and absolutely lovin' it! In a half hour of fiddling with the help of my OCD pedal I nailed Paul Gilberts Fuzz Universe tone exactly. And the clean is (almost) as good as the Texes red Blues Jr I had to sell to get it. Any of you have this amp? I did read some bad reviews--mostly minor stuff but I have a 60 warranty so I'm kinda safe.

I heard one of these Haze's a while back and thought they packed some good features for their size and cost....not bad sounding either.
The Egnater interested me and I liked the Tweaker alot. It was more than double what I paid for the Marshall. With three little kids and the fact that I'm not a well paid rockstar (damn!) that made the choise easy. I played the Blackstar Club 40 at the same time as the Haze and it just sisn't compare. The clean channel was a joke compared to the Marshall..didn't think I'd ever hear THAT coming from my mouth..and while having more gain it lacked life. That Blackstar was usable but really flat. Having said that it could just be preference..the salesman who was a musician liked the Blackstar better.
I was captivated by Blackstar for a long time and a few months ago I would have completely disagreed with you, but I really see what you mean. Blackstar's stuff does sound good but there is something I don't like about it, it does sound a bit too sterile. I was gonna go and get some of their pedals but then I realised they really change the sound of your amp, and well... I like my amp sound, I want to enhance it and tweak it, not change it. So Blackstar's gear just wasn't what I was looking for. I Love the tweaker though it sounds really raw, just too many switches and only one channel, but I can certainly see myself with one in the future.
