I used The E650 Ritchie Blackmore Amp to travel and practice with, and it has exceed my expectations in every way. I really love the built in effects. That is probably my favorite feature. I also expected such a small (2 watt) amp to have a very thin or sterile sound. However, the sound coming out is very full and deep. Just amazing! I wouldn't recommend this amp for "band" practices. But if your looking for a great practice amp packed with effects and different amp sounds, then this amp is for you.

UTILIZATION

This amp is loud enough to be heard over a rumble 25 bass amp and a pulse drum kit. i use this amp with an ibanez g10 and it works perfectly. and all these rumors that started about two watts are wrong. this amp is 30 watts.


SOUNDS

On the downside, Its distortion effects will honestly, unless you play it in a low gain, and 1 pick up, and volume down, will sound like shit. I couldn’t even play Unholy Confessions by A7x and that’s not even deathgrind. And when i tried playing FINITE by origin it was just awful. This amp is bad for distortion and metal guitars. So if your planning to be in a metal band, Dont get this guitar. But, this amp does have an upside. If your just starting out on guitar, and are planning to play more acoustical music. This is a good amp to start with. Not the best, but it has a nice acoustic sound. So this is good for acoustic people.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, a good amp for acoustic players or beginners. I suggest looking into some of the cheaper Roland amps that sound a little better than this one and are a little cheaper. You will find something better for this price range. This will leave you unsatisfied if you aren’t a beginner.
