It's got quality vintage Ampeg tube sound in a solid state format, It
wasn't powerful enough for me though. Also, by getting the super beefy
tube tone, you lose clarity. You can't get both with this amp. I had it
driving a 4 x 10 and a 2x 10 w/ horn, and I had no headroom during gigs-
to me headroom is important because I can use it to achieve different tone
variations.
Quality construction!!
If you're looking for a medium powered amp, this delivers great tone and
variation, and it's pretty loud. If you're looking for a high powered
amp, think about something else... I traded mine in for a Mesa m-pulse 600
-- tube tone, superior clarity, and massive amounts of volume!
