- How long have you been using it?
Personally, I've had it two years, but I got it from my parents, so I guess it's 20-25 years old (or even older)!
- Which features do you like the most / the least?
This amp is EXCEPTIONAL, it's sturdy as they get! I have even used it for monitoring live and it didn't even blink.
Its pros are the solidness and its extreme reliability. It's fed with a power strip, which is very handy to not have to power on the tuner every time.
Its cons are the somewhat limited output power (I have the SA 408, actually, but I can't find it in the product list, and they are similar, anyway), the buttons don't work too well nowadays and the volume control crackles a bit. On the other hand, you should install a small cooling system if you use it for long periods, because the unit has a tendency to overheat. To remedy it ==> Tricks
Nevertheless, this amp has proven its worth because the only repair I've had to make is to replace the fuses, which I did myself. Not bad, after 20 years, especially considering I use it as a DJ (in other words, I don't move it hehe
).
- How would you rate its value for money?
I don't know how much it cost back in the day, but whatever the price, I think it has been amortized.
- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
It's hard to say considering current models, but if I were to found one really cheap in a secondhand store I would get it as a backup, being practical about it.
