Ok, all jokes aside, here's my first day opinion.
It's great. Better than I expected. I received the amp at work, so it was going to be a few hours before I could plug her in. That was fine because I spent a good half hour reading the manual. I'm glad I did. I've had other Boogies before so I'm pretty familiar already. I admit I thought I was gonna be a bit overwhelmed, but I wasn't. When I got home I was ready.
I had printed out some setting charts from the database and along with the settings that came with the manual, I was ready.
I was impressed. I started out with a great sound from the beginning. I took Mesa's advice and started tweaking without the EQ. I came up with great settings for all 3 channels. Then I kicked in the EQ. Believe it or not, I did NOT care for it. When I did the classic V shape, my sound became too bassy and to trebley. I almost set the EQ to flat.
Then I came up with a great idea. Since the footswitch has a button for Lead/EQ, I set the EQ flat, but all of the sliders up one line for a volume boost. So now I don't use the eq except for the solo. Does my description make sense?
Does anybody else use the EQ just for a volume boost? I get great sounds without the eq.
This was only the first day. I was playing a Strat. Later today I'll try a Hamer Cali with a hot humbucker.
I need to work on my R1 and R2 sounds a bit, but my lead sound is screaming!
