Good Points
It has a killer distortion. Although the reverb isn't the most marvellous thing on Earth, you can set "enhance" levels (on two independent distorted channels) and play with a full range of versatile distortions. From a nice, almost not perceptable, overdrive-to-clean sound to a death mean true-bad-boy distortion (which, amazingly, sounds great for shredding or more punchy solos). I should emphasise the three independent channels (each with equalization controls, gain, enhance and volume levels). Anyway, Sounds real nice for blues and rock-metal.

Bad Points
Well... I had a Brazillian amp called Meteoro Jaguar 200, with a divine, marvellous clean sound. Two 12" loudspeakers allowing a stereo chorus like anything else could accomplish. I mean, crystal clean, so beautifully amazing. And a reverb which I believe, is its greatest feature. So, I feel obliged to say. TF300's clean sound is miserable . At least if compared with Jaguar's. But Jaguar weights 30kg (something like 60 pounds), and the TF300: 20 pounds lighter. Can't argue with practicity issues.

General Comments
Laney TF300-II has one valve, is a light and practicle amp. It sounds REALLY great for rockers, metallers, blues-like players or something like those things. I'm really happy with it because I can play hard heavy punchy rhythm for metal, and shred like crazy. I can also play classical pieces (with a rock-metal twist, of course), study jazz and have fun improvising some blues. It won't give you a nice clean sound. But will be enough for everything else.
