Published on 08/07/03 at 15:00bought from musicians friend for 499.great deal couldnt pass on this
This tube 40 watt amp is loud.I wasnt sure if 40 watts was enough watts but it is more than enough.Clean channel is very good,bright switch is a useful feature with my rickenbacker,nice vintage tone.I bought the tan color with oxblood cloth.It is a work of art.Excellent controls.Drive channel is good,but the clean channel is what makes this amp.
This is a tough one.Not much that i dont like.I have read reviews about the crapp speaker,but it sound very good.I was considering replacing the speaker but the emminence 12 sounds great.Maybe the older units had a different speaker.
Built like a brick.quality is excellent.this amp is heavier than i thought,which is good.Amp came with cover and footswitch.I tried my digitech effects pedal with the amp and it sure sounds better especially the texas blues and the overdrive settings.I think using this tube amp with the effects is the best of both worlds.
BOTTOM LINE great tube amp,excellent fender quality,best bang for the buck.I had to choose between a carvin nomad and this amp.both are very similar.I dont think you could go wrong on either.
