This amp comes with a single strap handle at the top. It's not too difficult to carry (62 lbs.), and it's nice to be able to move everything in one shot. The 15" speaker and tweeter provide deep lows and snappy highs. There is a little bit of hiss, even with the treble set flat. The 3-band tone controls work well. There is also a 5 position selector switch that reduces or increases certain frequencies (listed in the manual). Handy if you want to immediately cut mids or increase highs/lows.
The headphone jack and RCA inputs make practicing with a CD a blast. You can mix the bass level with the CD and sound like you're on the CD. No more artwork haning at weird angles due to low frequency soundwaves.
Overall, I'm happy with this amp. I intend to use it at home and for small venue/low volume gigs.
