Great amp

Sounds great with single coil, humbucker and active pickups.

Clean channel is great but the crunch with gain 1 and 2 is absolutely fantastic.

It's versatile and dynamic amp.

Great!

Great tones, very easy to control. I use it for metal, and in combination with the precision drive the results are outstanding.

The only cons are the lacking of the 6 way footswitch present in the description, not included in the pack. There are 2 footswitches, but they are enough.

Small format, HUGE performance

Honestly, this amp does it all.

The cleans are nice and warm, but have snap to them. Sounds just as good with my humbuckers as with my single coils.

Channel 1 is nicely textured, dynamic, has a very nice growl to it.

Channel 2 is a high gain monster, and engaging the preamp focus made me instantly throw away my precision drive and tube screamers. It sounds so tight, full, and dynamic. It's great for anything from standard tuning rock to 7 string djent mayhem.

The midi function is easy to use and pairs up really well with my Helix (which i use to control the Kraken). It's easy to make custom presets on the amp so you can switch patches accordingly.

In short, the amp is wonderful. It's tight, it's chewy, it's dynamic and it's so versatile. I can't recommend it enough!
