To add to jdebaise recommendations, I always seem to use the blackface Lux (american 1964) as my starting point. other people will have other opinions, this is just my 2cents. I'm just using my phone so playing with all the settings on such a small screen looses it's appeal quick.

I know the thread has been dead a few months but I was wondering if other peoples experience was similar to my own. I do like the amp but there ae some annoyances that keep me from loving it 100%. Bloody Bluetooth is all I have to say. I know it takes two devices for bluetooth to fail but with out a device that can consistently connect to the amp it turns it back into a one channel amp with some presets like my vox 3W. The tone select also leaves a lot to be desired. the biggest laugh is when I was skipping through sons and I hit Mississippi John hurt (acoustic blues) and it chose a tone that Dave Mustaine would have said "too much gain". every tone seems to be clean - no reverb no effects or Ultra chugg death metal. Like the Blues Lead preset... really? that much gain? But like a lot of people have said,I found some that were close then I tweaked and overwrote the presets. I think for me the biggest annoyance is the face that if you are playing music from a play list you HAVE to wait until the tone match choices appear before you can skip a track. the only way around that is to back to the play list and choose the next song. No using the >> button. ther ehave been times that I've had to wait 30 seconds for the cloud to send me some lollipop tones that don't match before I can say "Next". Seriously if the would just allow me to disable that my enjoyment would go up exponentially! What about the foot pedal? Anyone use one? does it make a huge difference to the usablilty of the amp? I mean other than the obvious volume/wah pedal functionality.
