i bought this amp for $1300.00 canadian,and its basically a 3 channel amp with 2 effects loops and an eq which can be set up as a fourth channel or dedicated to any of the other three.this is a hybred amp but is bassed on marshell plexi`s.it seems to be a well kept secret at this point and probably pretty hard to find in the u.s. but infinitly worth checking out.anyone else have any experience with vanous?their customer service is the best you can imagine.they have a website-check it out.i think its vanoustech.com arch
