Best thing of course is to check one out and give it a testride. Downside is that most of the time you can't compare it with what you realy want. I tried but was unable to get access to a 104 6L6. I made the leap anyway based on a couple of things like the ISF control, the 6L6 tubes, the price and the fact that those Blackstar guys came from the Marshall company with only one goal... Trying to make better amps!

A music dealer went out of business, I got a new one for $1000.00.

I really like how you can dial in a real heavy thick METAL tone thats not ICEY sounding. Very responsive amp to feel and sound.

That's a screamin' deal! Even if you were to sell it at some point, I doubt the hit would hurt much.

Congrats! Nothing like new gear day...

FYI I just installed some new pre-amp tubes Groove Tubes and it made a big diffence. I like the clean channel allot better, and OD1 OD2 got allot tighter and warmer..

I ordered 2 for a band last April :o
after dozens of excuses, final word is they arrive at the distributor Jan 9. and I should have them by the end of the month.
I'm not exactly holding my breath on them arriving this month, but I certainly can't wait to try them out!
