I have the 4x10 version, it is a BEAST, but you really need a decent OD pedal to get the most out of it. The gain side IS somewhat useable as is, but compared to my plugging straight into my Marshalls, uhm nope.. not even close.

Agreed 100%. I bought it for those fantastic clean tones. If i were going for more gain as a base tone, it’d of been a Marshall. But, I’d also add that I can get some great overdrive tones from quality pedals. While having to haul/carry extra gear isn’t necessarily the best option (as I get older I prefer to use, haul, and have…less), a pedal or two along with my amp isn’t too bad. And, this affords the opportunity for some great tones both directions.
