Hi,
I had the head version of that amp. It wasn't that spectacular IMO.
The gain sounded good when the volume was around two. But, when you would turn it to 4 or 5 the gain would break up and wasn't as smooth and got really harsh. The clean channel wasn't that great at all. It was rather weak and sterile. Just not that great of an amp really. I had a XXX as well. Better gain on the dirty channels only by a little. The clean was better but still, sterile and not very full. I've also had a Peavey Rockmaster preamp as well and the clean on that was the same way.
Just my $.02.
