The quality of teh effects is OK, not great, and I was really hoping they would have tweaked teh chorus so you could adjust the rate instead of always having that fast warbly sound. But 36 channels and all of the presets toplay with! 10/10 Sound Quality: Green Metal is the best overall place on the amp. very Marshall like and the mid control can really change the tone and feel. I have used this model more than any. The New insanes are both good, heavey, thick, searing hi gain sounds, but unlike the Spider 2 the red insane is actually usable and not that gross noise. the EQ on these models is VERY sensitive, and even small adjustmenst can make or break your sound. Th artist presets are useless to me because, i dont even like any of the artists there. But, the songs presets have their moments. Some are very bad impressions of the recorded tone, but some are so close its actually scary! Among those they nailed are "Back in Black" & "Smoke on the water". I havent played around with the clean sounds much but they dont sound bad, need to look into them more. So, while this amp is clearly not a tube amp, with some time and effort it can be dialed in to sound and feel close enough to satisfy me needs, which is a tall order since I am very picky. I also admit its fun to mess around with if you have an hour or two to go through all of the presets. Is it a "toy", well sort of, but it can be gigged with no doubt. 8/10 Reliability : Seems to be built tough. Never had an issue with any of my Line 6 products (I only have 1). I would gig with it with no problem. 9/10 Customer Support : N/A Overall Rating : To all of the other reviewers who say that this is crap, they would be embarrassed to gig with it, no tone, etc.....fine, thats your opinion, but I have and always will believe that a good player can make any amp that is "half way decent" sound excellent, and this amp is definitely at least half way decent. Also if this was out of 10 it would have only received a 9/10 rating. 5/5
