Upgraded this week from a Vox AD100 to a Blackstar Artist 30.
I play in a 20 piece big band which plays without a PA most of the time and needed lots of very clean headroom plus flexibility.
Believe it or not the 100w Vox didn't have sufficient clean headroom. (and it was doing my back in).
I was going to opt for a H/R Deluxe but read the reviews on this, tried it and I'm sold.
Using in anger next week with the band at rehearsal, can't wait
