MusicRadar’s verdict:

"Fantastic tone, great character and lots of perfectly usable features. One thing that's missing from so many multi-function amps these days is character, but the Series 1 amps have tons of it, with all the flexibility you need. It's been a very long wait for these amps to arrive, but it's been worth every minute!"
