Powerful amp
I use this for my music session in the garage and i just need to turn the volume knob halfway and i'm having a blast.
What i like about this amp is that it has 2 channels 1 is better to use for clean and the other one for distortion, so it is good if you don't have pedals to be able to quickly switch channel in the middle of a song if you need to.
The clean channel surprised me with it's quality and smooth sound.
But on the other hand when you use high gain you get some noise coming from the amp when you are not playing,
I just bought Boss-GT 100 for a great price at thomann and i am going to see if i can fix that noise when i am playing with the gain from the effect but not the amp using the 4 cable method and the noise gate in the pedal.
I will get the effect in couple of days and i will update the review then.
***Update got the BOSS GT-100 for about a month now.
Got rid of the high gain buzz in the amp with or without the 4 cable method thanks to the noise gate in the multi effect. So it is doing very fine in the garage where i jam along another guitar and backing tracks.

Good value for the money
A clear sounding amplifier for all styles. Pretty heavy but worthwhile having. Sounds better than expected. AC noise present when driving impedance is moderately high (50-100KOhm), will investigate further on that.

A big and cheap amp
I bought this for home practice, with it I got a few distortion/overdrive pedals, because I knew that the distortion in this amp wouldn't be that good, but I haven't tried it... I just put it on clean and plugged the pedals in... So far I'm very pleased with the amp. At first I had some issues like the sound was really quiet, but that was my fault and I fixed it and now it works really good.
The features on this are really nice. Though I haven't touched the controls after the first day, because I'm doing everything on pedals.
There was one thing that really annoyed me though and it was that the headphone output comes before the FX loop... I had my reverbs and delays in my loop and one night when I wanted to play guitar, but everybody was sleeping, so I put on my headphones and I immediately noticed that the signal was dry with only the fx that I had put before the amp.
Other than that I do recommend this amp, as it is cheap and if you got pedals it sound good even.

Sensitive.
A real beauty in every way, take me back to when musicians had total control of their sound, lots of knobs with various names for them, to when a slight move of the knobs made complete change to the sound, the HB80r is that guitar amp.
Internet downloads, "give me a break". This amp is the real thing and sure.
The slight prob is its sensitivity to the electricity supply, my house is 'out in the hills' electricity is pretty 'dirty', so I can't really use this amp at home because of this, I had a 'hi watt' years ago with the same prob, but at gigs, this HB80r is perfectly OK with town electric supply & rings like a bell.
A superb machine for sure, ideal for mature P90 rockers like me.

What can guarantee a good, real electric guitar sound? Speaker. Real 12 inch Seventy 80 from British Celestion.Powerful analog sound, nice velvety bass and good gain. I play more on a clean sound and thisHB-80R suits me.

Cheap but sounds Expensive
Bought it for a small rehearsal studio and was pretty surprised with its power. its loud! seriously loud!
built quality is very good for the price. love the celestion loudspeaker inside. equalizing options are wonderful.
reverb is good too, if you are not so picky.
its a pitty that it doesn't come with a footswith as dual channel option is very handy.
having 2 separate channels made this amp a real treasure for me as the price is ridiculously cheap for the futures and quality provided.
