Hi from Virginia!

Just got my HT Stage 60 yesterday and haven't stopped playing long enough to make my post here until now. I'm in love! The cleans are gorgeous and sparkling, and I love it when you get that nice break-up when you push the volume on the boutique voicing. Both OD channels are nice and bright and crunchy, and playing lead on OD2, it just screams! I played Peaveys, Marshalls, Line 6's, and Mesa Boogies, and the only thing that even came close to the Stage 60 was the Mk V, but for the combo of sound, price, and ease of use, the Stage 60 still smoked it (and the Mk V's front looks like an airplane instrument panel...I don't want to have to reserve a week of vacation time to dial in my sound!). I am one happy camper. It's funny that the Blackstar motto is "The sound in your head" because before I even knew that, I was telling someone about the amp after I had tried it out in a shop, and I used that very phrase to describe the sound! Blackstar rocks!
