This has the 'Red' Channel and the 'Green' Channel. Red is the extreme high gain channel, Green is the clean channel. If you want the 'Blue' Channel, you need to buy the LBX-II or LBX-I - That is more of a 'hard rock' channel. In any event, this amp sounds great.
Side note - Sometimes I used mine as a power amp for a modeler like Line 6, Fractal, Boss, etc.... The power section of this amp is EXTREMELY clean. So if you use a modeler you could run your Modeler OUT directly into the FX Return of the 5150 to amplify your signal (just make sure you turn off CAB modeling). It sounds and feels fantastic when used this way.

Lots to say about that here. If that link doesn't work, search for that thread on the gear page and you'll find everything you wanted to know. And more. Haha
I have not experienced any problems, I personally wouldn't own this amp, or most lunchbox style amps. The cost and headache to make basic repairs and modifications will out-value the amp very quickly.
For some elaboration you could review some footage of the EVH/Fender Ensenada amp quality from someone on YT like Psionic Audio.
As I said, this amp sounds great for high gain, for the price I guess this as good as it gets, I just wouldn't rely on any amp coming from the Ensenada factory. Granted, this is probably the absolute cheapest high gain tube amp you can buy at this point, so I guess you have to manage expectations around this.
