Sound Quality

Very easy to use thanks to it`s simple design with astonishing tight tone. Hendrix, Page, Rory Gallagher, Lifeson, u name it, all classic rockheroes are there.
With all knobs at max.(except for the trebleknob, which is a matter of personal taste of soundcolor)it`s just a matter of turning the volumepot of my guitars(PRScu22, Fender strat `59RI and Dano `59DC)to go from Fender-ish breathing clean to Vintage Marshall-esk overdrive and beyond. The notes have a very warm, swelling sustain to them. Also the Royal class is very responsive to pedals.
Reliability
:
No Opinion
So far no problems and I don`t expect them in the future according to it`s sound. U can actually "hear" the quality of the solid design. Maybe in a couple of years just changing valves because i`m gonna play this tiny Goliath A LOT in the next coming future.
Customer Support
:

When i`m on the phone with CMWamps the conversations take about 30 mins up to 1 hour. Do i need to say more?? So yes, very helpful and informative.
Warranty: 3 years on the amp, 3 months on the valves. That`s what I call a WARRANTY!
Overall Rating
:

I`ve been playing for over 35 years now of which i play electric for about 29 years. Other amps i use at the moment are a Marshall Plexi, a Marshall JMP Superlead and a Sound City L100.
If the RoyalClass were stolen i definately would make a quick phonecall to get me another one. This amp is PURE CLASSIC TOOOONE!!
