I'll review again when I can provide information about how well the pedals do when placed at the front end of the amp

Sometime I want to get the pedal for this amp to preset effects I like

Recomend purchasing sanperra 1 pedal makes the amp even more fun to play with.

A second reason to add your favorite pedal(s) is that the amp's design limits you to one row each of stompbox/instrument model, amp model, and modulation effect (plus global delay and reverb)

I feel like I'm getting some great sounds out of the amp, but largely because I have some great pedals to compliment it

I highly recommend the sanpera 2 pedal, though that's another $200 easy
