AFTER LOOKING AT REVUEWS I DECIDED TO PURCHASE FROM MUSICIANS FRIEND. PRICE WAS 299 DOLLARS. ORDERED ON MONDAY, GOT IT FRIDAY...EXCELLENT SERVICE!

EVERY THING!
THIS AMP IS AWESOME...YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT FOR AWHILE TO GET "YOUR SOUND" BUT IT'S IN THERE SOME WHERE. ALL THE EFFECTS WORK WELL AND I BET SET UP RIGHT WOULD REALLY WHALE. THIS THING BEGS FOR A 4X12 CAP TO BRING OUT THE BOTTOM AND THE RICH STEREO SOUND. REMEMBER THOUGH, THERE'S ALOT OF EFFECTS AND IT TAKES A WHILE TODIAL IN..DON'T JUST CRANK EVERYTHING UP OR IT'LL SOUND CRAPPY..TUNE IT IN..FOR LOW PLAYING LEVELS TURN THE DIRTY CHANNEL VOLUME DOWN TO 2 OR 3 AND TURN UP THE MASTER VOLUME A LITTLE FOR SOME DISTORTION WITH NO EFFECTS ON...JUST MESS WITH IT YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING COOL!

I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS..ALL I CAN SAY IS THERES AN OPTIONAL MIDI FOOT BOARD FOR CONTROLLING EFFECTS AND THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM YOU NEED A PEDAL BOARD EVENTUALLY...I'LL HAVE TO GET ONE SOME DAY FOR IT....

WELL, I'LL TELL YA, IT'S A NICE LOOKING AMP. METAL CONER CAPS, STURDY CABINET, AND A NEAT CRINKLY TYPE FINISH FOR DURABILITY. ALL KNOBS ARE CLEARLY MARKED, THE BIG OL' JENSEN SPEAKERS LOOK NICE AND ARE WIRED IN WELL. ITS ABOUT 59 POUNDS AND IT'S SOLID......IT HAS JACKS IN THE BACK FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ANYONE WOULD EVER USE AN AMP LIKE THIS FOR. EXCELLENT SOUND...LIKE I SAID YOU GOTTA MESS WITH IT, BUT AFTER YOU FIGURE OUT WHATS WHAT YOUR GOOD TO GO. EXCELLENT DIGITAL CONTROLLS OF EFFECTS AS WELL.

SOME PEOPLE DONT LIKE TRANS TUBE VIRTUAL TUBE SOLID STATE AMPS...BUT THIS ONE ROCKS AND IF SOME ONE WOULDA HAD ONE OF THESE 20 YEARS AGO I'D BE A BREAK THROUGH...AND FOR 299!!!! IT'S BASICALLY A CHEAPER VERSION OF A LINE 6 OR SOMETHING....ADDING A 4X12 CABINET ( ALSO AVAILABLE FROM BEHRINGER FOR 250 BUCKS) WOULD REALLY OMMAND SOME RESECT FOR THIS THING. IF YOUR A BEGINER YOU'LL LOVE IT AND IF YOUR A PRO YOU'LL FIND SOME THING TO DO WITH IT I'M SURE...CAN'T BEAT IT FOR THE PRICE...PEOPLE ARE VERY PICKY ABOUT HOW AMPS SOUND AND I THINK THIS ONE FOR IT'S INTENDED PURPOSE WILL IMPRESS MOST...IT DID ME, AND YES, IT'S LOUD ENOUGH TO PISS OFF THE NEIGHBORS!
