You've also got a set of VERY efficient speakers in there.

What sorts of situations have you run it through so far? I've often found what seems loud in a church setting just doesnt' cut it in a rock concert setting.

Thats probably true lol. But I don't think I will have any problems in a rock setting with that thing seeing how low I have to have it for worship and playing in my room.

you probably have to have a pedal to change channels, but that sounds like a decent amp.. but if you really need 100 watts the B52 will do that for ya 2..

it just seemed like you were pointing out the obvious. Any amp with more than one channel is severely limited in its dynamics without a footswitch. Even single channel amps (like my Acoustic 150) feel limited without the footswitch to turn reverb and tremolo on and off.

yeah.. my b52 has 2 channels, the gain channel has 2 gain modes (for switching from mellow to heavy distortion like he pointed out earlier) and it has reverb and effects .. all of those, including the gain modes have a button on the INCLUDED footswitch...
