I've played it many times, and played in a band with a co- guitarist who gigged one for a number of years. The heavy sounds simply do not cut through live (or when recorded, now that I think about it), and the clean is totally dull and muffled, especially compared to any number equivalent (n.b. valve) amps of a similar price.
I'm not having a go at you personally mate, so you don't need to be so defensive; I'm just telling you the way it is, based on my experience with this and other comparable amps. And I like to think I know a fair amount about hardcore/ punk/ particularly metal guitar tone, so you can't just explain the mode four's shortcomings away based on it being "not your style". I still am aware of what is, and what is not, a good amplifier for any style of music/ guitar sound. I have to.
