Published on 10/27/03 at 15:00I bought this unit from Palen Music in Columbia, Missouri. Paid $199 for it new. I was looking for an amp that would cater to a medium volume classic rock band, and a 5 piece country act I also play in.
This amp does everything I need. It has effects, amp modeling, morphing, tow channels, enough inputs and outputs to satisfy any possible combination of requirements.
It took a little while to figure out how to program the various parameters on the amp, but spending a little time with it made me know it that much better. It was plenty loud at my gig with my 5-piece band. No one could believe I only paid two hundred bucks for it.
Also, it's not as heavy as a lot of other combo amps. The 2-10's sung loud and clear when called upon, and the mixing of the "dirty" channel took a little time to get the sound I was looking for, but eventually I found the sound I needed.
The only thing I can say about this amp I didn't like would be the ability to use more than one effect at a time. It has all these great sounds that would be nice to mix them up a bit.
This isn't an amp you can just take home, plug in and start wailing. You need to spend some quality time together locked in a room to get just the sound you need out of it. It is a very sophisticated piece of equipment. And that's really not a bad thing!
The construction was tight and sturdy. I would rely on this amp to perform well anywhere.
I have seen amps going for twice as much as this one that don't even come close. I also heard they were discontinuing this amp. Probably because it is too much of a good value! If you get a chance to get one of these bad boys, do it! You cannot go wrong!
