Published on 12/31/02 at 15:00I bought this from Musician's Friend for $199 with free shipping (great deal)in October '02.
This is a superb unit for the price. The built-in effects are worth half the price alone. It has 99 presets ranging from reverb to chorus, flanger, etc. The presets can also be edited by the user as-if the 99 factory settings weren't enough. It has a clean channel and a distortion channel. It also comes with a footswitch to go back and forth between those two channels and to toggle the effects on-and-off. 30 watts per amp x 2 = 60 watts into twin 10" Jensen speakers. Gotta love it.
Only feature I can find to quibble about is that there is a microsecond (but noticeable) delay when you toggle back-and-forth from clean to distortion channel. At $199, I feel like I'm asking for egg in my beer to even mention it, but that's it: The only thing even remotely wrong with it. I seriously doubt you can find a better amp for under $350.
Top notch: well made, looks good, sorta like a vintage Fender.
For a practice / modeling amp or even gigs in a smallish room or club, can't possibly beat it for the price.
