When I got this amp, it had certainly already seen its day. One of the channels doesn't work, and the power is not really adequate for anything but small gigs and practices. The beauty of the amp is its amazing tone. I initially played it through a 15" Peavey BW, and it sounded amazingly warm, with lots of mid punch. Now, it goes through a 4x12, for which it is underpowered, but sounds incredible. Turning the volume past halfway starts to add a warm fuzz, which is almost tube like. Considering that it's about 15 yrs. old, I was worried about reliabilty, but even after a couple of falls, it's still kicking. The internal construction looks very solid. If it had more power, it'd be my full-time amp. One thing - that bright switch boosts the treble incredibly. Use with caution.
