havent tried the 20watt version but the 35watter i did, the cleans isnt the best but its not bad it just has its own sound, overdrive is great again it has its own voicing, it isnt loud as the blackstar ht20 but i could tell the stock speaker isnt the best, tried plugging the thing into another cabinet(bugera 2x12) and it sounded better to my ears, thats what the lineout is for anyway
i wouldnt say orange is overrated each model has a different sound anyway, just like marshall you have different models with unique voicings cant compare a JMD to a MA or MG series of amps
