Pros

Very, very good sounds from all channels

Pure tone, no fizz, no hiss

Goes from country clean to jazzy to AC/DC to Van Halen to Metallica and beyond

Cuts through the mix like no other amp I've played with

Very well-defined notes, even when the heaviest distortion is used.

Cons

The amp is not very forgiving. If you play a bad note or do master a technique, you will hear it.  Not necessarily bad about the amp, but still...

No reverb inside

Sound Quality
5 (excellent)
Reliability

No problems yet (after three years)

Customer Support

No problems, have not had a problem and the Elmwood people are very nice to deal with.

Summary

In my opinion one of the best amps out there at this moment, as far as channel-switchers go.
