Single Channel, Tube reverb, EL-84 output tubes. I bought it new from Brook-Mayes Music in Texas (Mail-order).
Sound Quality

Sounds great. Kind of like a Suped-up Vox AC-30 with a bit of Fender Blackface thrown in. I don't use the reverb channel. I plug directly into the dry channel, which adds a little more top-end than going thru the Reverb channel. The reverb is very nice but it's not really a useful sound for me and my style.
Reliability

Fairly reliable. It runs quite hot to the touch (on the top of the cabinet). The cabinet got a little loose and buzzy, so I took it to my amp-guy and had him go over it. And, tighten things up for me.

I've talked a few times with the guys at Bogner. I've always gotten right thru to them on the phone.
Overall Rating

I've been playing for about 25 years and have had just about everything that you can think of (all of the usual stuff). This is definately a great amp for me and my style. I set it up for a real warm tubey tone then add any effects/drive from my pedal board.
