This is a two channel amplifier that takes a lot of inspiration from the Soldano amplifier tone.

SOUNDS
If you like the tone of the Soldano SLO and you will like the tone of this jet city hundred watt amplifier. The first channel is a good shiny shimmering clean that can get a sparkling tone. The second channel is a thick and raunchy distortion tone. If you like a good 80s tone then you will be set with this amplifier. If you like in new modern metal tone then you can get that with just a quick shift at the control knobs.
I really like the sound of this amplifier with the good humbucker installed pick up guitar. I like the tone of the good humbucker with this sick raunchy distortion that this amplifier provides. With the two buffer the effects loop I like to put in some chorus and delay effects mixing with the high gain Soldano overdrive.
OVERALL OPINION
These amplifiers are some of the most budget friendly consumerist amplifiers on the market today. You can find these amplifiers at new for the price of $699. That is an excellent price for excellent sounding guitar amplifier. I would highly recommend this amplifier to anyone who wants a good solid 100 watt and inexpensive amplifier. This is a no-frills no nonsense amp with no trick marketing tools to back it.
