Haven't had a chance to play it yet but sure does look nice. I also ordered the Eric Johnson Tone Capsule but it is on backorder.

OK so it's a solid state amp set to model a tube amp. It's not like most modelers in that it doesn't have an array of effects onboard. Just tremolo and reverb. In addition to that, the amp accepts Roland Tone Capsules which look like tubes, plug in like tubes, even glow like tubes but change the way the amp sounds completely. The first tone capsule released is Eric Johnson so you plug that in and it makes the amp sounds like one of Erics Plexi-Marshalls. Here's a couple of vids.

My initial foray with the amp was positive. A Les Paul sounded a little dark and muddy but I didn't mess with the EQ too much. However when I plugged in my strat it really shined. Finally I have an amp that sounds great with single coils :D
