Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It is not made for those that want to seriously play. Find something with more power. Reliability How has it stood up over time? The footswitch that I got with it started acting up within the first 6 months of me having it. Now I have to go through a bunch of crap just to get it replaced for an amp that is not even pulling the sound and power I want it to. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I thought that I was getting a full fledged, over powering bang for my buck. My friends 60 watt amp overpowers this amp. I thought it was supposed to be 120 watt?? The power is not there. If you want a cheap amp to LOOK like you have a big rig, this is for you. If you want a real powerhouse, look elsewhere. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Paint job was fine, but frankly that's not why I bought the thing. Action How was the action out of the box? Out of the box? Yeah, it looks pretty, and I thought that I had my perfect rig going. Man, was I wrong. That same day in rehearsal I found that I didn't have half the power I thought I would.
Great sound and effects

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? good quality, could be better if the speaker were 4ohm but then it a small price for the effects and flexibility you get. I'm putting 4 Jensen mod 4ohm speakers in mine.the 3 channel foot switch is a plus. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Good, except the speakers Overall Your general opinion of this product. I've owned this stack for about a year,Gigged with it everything from outdoor to large indoor venues and the sound and tone is Great but get ready to replace the speakers.it is a very rugged and well built stack but the speakers are 16ohm and the head is 4ohm and in time they wont last, thats the reason I'm giving it 4 stars. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? very user friendly but don't trust the on-board tuner Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Can be warm and fuzzy for blues or thick and crunchy for metal.also the flanger and phaser make it nice when playing classics but the reverb sounds very digital get a Boss "fender pedal" Finish How did the stain or paint job look? tough as nails Action How was the action out of the box? loved it
Nice Stack - But BEWARE of MP3 Input

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Excellent quality of build. However, what I did not find out until I purchased it was that the MP3 Input is MIXED into the EFFECt LOOP and therefore you do not have a clean MP3 signal to jam to if you want to use effects in the loop! Reliability How has it stood up over time? Worked fine while I had it. Overall Your general opinion of this product. It's a nice stack but if you are looking for MP3 and Effect Loop capability, you'll be disappointed because of the MP3 mising with the Effect Loop. The manual states the MP3 goes to the Power Amp but the block diagram - and CRATE SUPPORT - indicate it is mixed with the Effects Loop. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Easy to use and sounds nice. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Sounded good the few times I used it. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Excellent! Action How was the action out of the box? Not applicable
