Can anyone describe the sounds of the different modes on a TOV?

Clean: please describe how they are

Blues: what kinds of sounds can this mode achieve?

Vint. High Gain: what kinds of sounds can this mode achieve?

Mod. High Gain: I think I know what this one is like...how does it compare to a regular Dual Rec?

-Clean: Great, but you have to keep the gain low as to not get distortion. It doesn't really sound like anything I've played, it has its own unique clean sound that I can see some liking and some maybe not.

-Blues: Similar to the Modern mode but with less gain and more presence and mids. I don't use it much, but it's great if you like some grit in your clean sound.

-Vintage: I don't use this nearly as much as I should. It's very different from the Modern mode. It has a warmer, thicker sound. If you crank the gain it can get just as nasty as Modern, but it's a very different kind of nasty. It's hard to describe, but I'd say it leans closer towards the Mark sounds than a traditional Rectifier sound.

-Modern: You probably know this sound. I haven't played a normal DR, but I've heard plenty and I'd say that it sounds slightly less gritty.
 
I debuted the Tverb at my last show, and the vintage high gain channel was so incredibly fulfilling, it's hard to describe. I'm willing to lug around this 300 pound amp to shows, just to get the sound!
 
I just recently fell in love with the Vintage High Gain mode all over again. I keep trying the Blues mode but it just doesn't do it for me so for now it's all about Clean and then switch to Vintage high gain, thanks to channel cloning.
