I needed an amp for home recording & gigs so when i seen the 50R, it suited me perfectly. The ability to change from 5W-50W is very handy for practicing at home when neighbors are "Not Music Lovers".
It's very versatile, travel friendly and easy to understand for someone without much amp knowledge, which i was. The ISF knob allowed me to get all those classic tones from the 60s which i loved along with letting me to find my own tone. Having an in-amp Overdrive got me into experimenting which i think is a great adventure for any artist.
Though i would personally lean towards a Room or Spring reverbs, the in-amp Plate & Hall give such a nice space around your playing and even adding a little bit goes a long way.
There's so many features on this amp that i still have to experiment with. The Clean Bright mode isn't something I've found myself using though i can see where it could be useful. As my first out and out amp, i don't think i could've chosen a better product for me.
Overall very very solid.
