I have to say that when I saw the size of this unit at the local music
store it was right in my sights. Then when I plugged my old upright
Tyrolean in and played, it blew me away. With everything set flat. I use it
now with a 12 inch Bag End cabinet, and very pleased. Also,sounds great
with my Ibanez Musician electric bass. I can throw it over my shoulder, and
carry other items to gigs. I did have to take it back twice though for
problem with bad static, which they said was an effects loop thing. I love
the size, the sound,and the construction of this little wonder. I never
heard the Clarus amp, but would put this up against it. The fan is not very
loud, which I think a fan is essential.I think that anyone looking for a
compact and powerful little unit should check this out.
