hmmm.....that is probably true. I would run my pedals through the clean channel, I would only mess with the Soak in my bedroom, or maybe to beef up my clean a little, ya know?

Good amp. More or less in the catagory of a Peavey Classic 50...although they come in either 2X12" or 4X10", and not 1-12".
They are loud amps, though. 50 watts of tube power is loud.

+1!! Heck, in a small room with an efficient speaker, even 5W is enough to make your ears bleed!

I have owned a few of the Vintage series amps. I would go with a MTS or the new X100B. Both will do all the Bel-Air will do but the Bel-Air won't go where both of those amps will tone wise. When the Vintage series amps try to get heavy they get really mushy and muddy when you start cranking the soak.
Believe it or not I was able to get MUCH MUCH better low volume crunch tones out of the 100 watt MTS than I did the Bel-Air. The 100 watt MTS is much easier to control and sounds MUCH better at lower volumes than the 50 watt Bel-Air or Nomad!!
