This Amp is truly AWSOME, absolutely purist! Does everything you need it to I use a Fender Richie Kotzen Telecaster, a Washburn N4 and a Washburn project prototype and there is every tone right there. I use this amp for home, recording and live connected to a Hughes and Kettner CC412B30 Cab.The combo itself can easily handle pub and club covers and original gigs,the 4x12 comes in handy as I play loud. I play covers of the likes of the Kings Of Leon, Killers,Kooks as well as full on rock/funk .The Statesman delivers every nuance you give the strings and has incredible warmth. If you can try one do it! You will be blown away!! ,I have tried practically every amp on the market for the last ten years and this even gives thousands of pounds worth of vintage amp a pasting. I have found that the EQ is extremely responsive in comparison to other market offerings.

I have given this Statesman a pasting on over 30 gigs or rehearsals and has performed seamlessly every occasion. No let downs to report, I have used valve amps for years so I???m prepared for valve and possible fuse changes.

To my ears this amp destroys anything I have owned heard or used before. Whatever guitar you feed into it you will be amazed by the tones available.
Find one,Play one,Own one.!!!!
