I bought an amp because I had read many times that it was a “musical’ amp, and other nice talk.
It was junk, a 3 out of 10; I still have it and would be embarrassed to sell it and inflict it on someone else.
The mistake was that I had not been careful enough in discerning who had actual experience with that amplifier vs who was simply repeating comments they had heard.
Since then, I value only testimony from direct experience.
