The clean channel adds a little versatlity - though its no twin and the fx loop is poor ; schenker used / uses 2205
Essentially the first version is fatter-sounding and has much less gain than the second and third, and it's quite odd to use at first because most of the gain and volume kicks in from 8 to 10 on the controls, so it can seem like they're not working right if you set them below that…. but they're actually louder than the later ones when fully cranked.
None of them have the classic JMP/JCM800 2203/4 sound either, even on the dirty channel. The clean channel is OK at best, the dirty is better but still not great, in my opinion - quite a dated sound, ironically more so than the older amps - unless you can run them loud enough that the power stage overdrives as well and masks the preamp sound.
