The other guitar player in my band has one. I think they sound pretty good. A LOT of balls behind that thing. I almost think it gets louder than an amp head. Of course it really depends on the preamp that you put in front of it but if you don't like it you can always change it and keep the power amp the same. That's a big plus to the rack route. I'm still like heads better but that's just personal opinion, sound wise, I wouldn't mind playing rack gear as long as I could keep it simple.
The biggest drawback to this thing, it is HEAVY AS HELL! I can't stand having to help lug this thing around to gigs, it takes up a bunch of floor space too since you can't sit it on top of your cab. That part is lame but the ability to run 4 cabinets off of one unit is pretty awesome within itself.
