Ibanez Toneblaster sounds?

I'm thinking about buying a Toneblaster stack because it's cheap, people have complimented the clean channel and it doesn't have tubes to swap.
I'm going to use a Keeley DS-1 Ultra as an overdrive channel since I don't think that the dirty channel sounds very good (SS amp).
My problem is that no-one here in Finland sells Toneblasters, so I have to order one from Germany without trying it first.
Has anyone any sound clips? Would you recommend me buying the amp?

What will you be using the amp for? cus if its only bedroom/small venue stuff a half stack is somewhat overkill... I would reccomend, if anything playing just about every amp you can in your price-range, wether they be combos, halfstacks, whatever and seeing what you like best. I would personally invest in a excellent combo as a opposed to just an "OK" half stack... but thats just me! the toneblaster is $800 RRP as far as i can see, so look around new and used for amps around that... dont discount used goods at all...you can get some real bargins! :D
-better shred than dead-ANDY

I own the ToneBlaster half-stack, I think it's pretty good
so far no regret for buying it. i've tried different amps and this is the best for the money.
people don't like TB because it's a solid state amp, not a tube amp
they didn't even give it a try and say that TB is not good. not fair

I have a tone blaster full stack and it looks great, but I also own a line 6 flextone 2. The tone blaster sounds good clean, and also on crunch setting (Clean with the boost on) but the distortion channel sounds a bit crappy. I've thought about using a valve driven distortion pedal to boost that channel but I'm not too sure what to buy.
For the price (£599 I got mine for) I think it is excellent. you can buy smaller better sounding amps for less though (Don't ask me to think of any because I can't)
I'd say shop around, try one out. I like mine, I'm more than happy with it.
