This is a 200 watt solid state amp with three (effectively four) channels. The clean and lead channels share the EQ section while the crunch channels has a fixed, non adjustable EQ. Crunch and lead can be combined into a fourth channel.
The tones have been described as Fenderish cleans and Dumble-esqu overdrive. I can vouch for the cleans but I have no experience with Dumbles, the overdrive is pretty smooth sounding though. The clean channel starts breaking up at noon with humbuckers and at around 3 o'clock with my vintage singe coils.
There is a master volume that acts as a limiter also and the overdrive section has its own master that lets you match the volume between overdrive and clean.
There's an FX-loop, headphone output and footswitch input where you can hook up any standard two button footswitch for swithching between the channels. On the back there's a 4 and 8 ohm speaker output as well as a DI.
It's equally well suited for hooking up to a 4x12 to blast 200 watts at your neighbours as it is to playing at bedroom levels or silently with headphones, or even hooked up to your audio interface for recording.
It weighs around 4 lbs (2kg) and comes with original gig bag that can double as a hand bag.
This is not a digital modeling amp, it's analog solid state but it responds and behaves like a tube amp. I really like it but I took a different route with the Amp 1 mounted to a pedal board instead and can't really justify owning both.
Price? 370€ for TTR members. Shipping within EU should be fairly reasonable.
