I used it for a small gig this past saturday, and plan to use it next weekend for the "mini surf fest" in birmingham and the surf fest in georgia. I hope Noah (kill baby kill) will give me his evaluation of the sound. I don't play trad; I like an amp that is overall clean with just a little grit to kick over into feedback when I need it, and this works great. The JBL definitely handles what the amp puts out, so there's no speaker overdrive. The 5751 reduces some of the gainy-ness, and the 5991s take the sound to a whole different level. But it still gets pretty distorted/overdriven when you put the volume up around 2 o'clock.

Will definitely be using this amp from here on in.

A late response on this. Edwin sounded amazing at the Mini Surf Fest through his Excelsior. The room was probably a bit large for the amp if we had not had a sound system to mic it through. I was quite impressed with the amp. I can certainly see two of these run in stereo being a really good surf rig for those that like just a bit of grit to their sound.
