bought this from ebay for a little more than half the retail price, as i'm
moving soon to a smaller place and i need something portable. i also
wanted something that a could use for small 'living room' jams. tried the
ashdown perfect 10 (the next model up - 30w) and was impressed, but it was
too large for what i had in mind.
an impressive little amp - louder than i thought and with a nice smooth
low end, the 'deep' switch gives the sound a lovely creamy bass boost, and
the 3-band eq is versatile enough to give a good range of sounds.
for the price, the build quality is fantastic...pro-feel pots, sold
construction and not too heavy.
overall i'm suprised how good this sounds for a small practice amp.
