I've tried out quite a few different Blackstar models and I have been quite impressed with everything I've seen. I was looking really hard at the combo amp version but I've been experiencing a bit of tube rattle with my VK212 which has me a little weary of combo tube amps now. It's not as noticeable on a dirty channel, but certain notes on my clean channel buzz quite a bit. I've had a look at them and noticed that one tube was a little crooked so I moved it back into position which has largely damped the rattle, but it still comes through a little bit.
