Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00i picked this screamin amp up at a guitar shop where i live. i paid somewhere in the neghborhood of 230 for it i beleive.
ooo it ounds sweet. the overdrive channle on it simply rips.its a loud one no doubt and is very receptive to the volume level of your guitar. the clean channel is soaking and with reverb i even find myself lost in the sound when i slowly methodically move through sales. then you pull the lill over drive nob and crank your guitar up and WHAM your hit with screaming tone and loud tone straight from the guitar gods themselves. the eq on it features both clean and overdrive gain, bass, midd, treble and reverb. theres a seperate clean gain and a master volume. the distortion also features a level nob. it can be intimidating at first but once you got it, you love it.
SCREEEEEEEECH.. hehe.. if you got everything at 10 she squels like a stuck pig. its loud enough at 4 and 5 to play bars and small clubs without being drowned out. and if you play it at 6 or 7 youll find yourself saying "huh what was that?" alot. but whats partial loss of hearing compared to monster tone?
shes a heavy lill sucker. i think its very well constructed but by any means dont drop it. i think that goes for any peice of musical equipment though. she can take what ya give her and beg for more.
over all it is a great amp and will seve you well. ive played it in small bars and ive not had any problems with it. i guess it just depends on your musical stylization though. i myself play alot of blues ie SRV BB King Clapton as well as cassic stuff like hendrix and zeplin., and even some newer stuf like "new" metallica, a prfect circle and sr71. one quick throw of a switch and a turn of a nob and your ready to switch from tone to tone faster than your drummer can get himself another beer.
its one screamin amp. thats the bottom line.
