General Your general opinion of this product. For me this amp is the best. I have a studio full of amps and pre-amps that I have collected and now I can start selling stuff off. This amp is my final purchase, done! Probably only keeping my Kitty Hawk Dino Pre-amp but everything else can go!!!! Give this amp a try, it absolutely rocks!!!! Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 2 weeks and counting, feels like a tube head and feels like other reliable tube heads. If taken care of should be reliable. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? N/A Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Channel 1 is great, nice and clean. Channel 2 can do everything all the way up to full on metal. Channel 3 has more gain on tap then I have ever encountered or needed. I play heavy oriented music and channel 2 is more than enough. 50 Watts is more than enough for private, recording or live. I love this amp and will never let it go, so worth the money, it inspires me to wanna play and play all night!! Action How was the action out of the box? N/A Finish How did the stain or paint job look? N/A Reliability How has it stood up over time? Time will tell, but taken care of should last a lifetime.
My Quest for perfect tone is over!!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The best..EVH and Fender Reliability How has it stood up over time? Not sure yet. I hope it lasts a lifetime General Your general opinion of this product. I Can't find a bad setting on this amp. I can get some great blues tones by cranking the gain on channel 1, or dial back the gain for some beautiful clean tones (the amp also cleans up well when you lower your guitar volume). Channel 2 has that much sought after EVH tone that leave a permagrin on my face. Channel 3 is an absolute gain monster (i never set the gain more than half way) and is simular to the gain on amps like Soldano and Mesa Boogie. This is the best amp I have ever owned.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Sturdy and well built Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far, so good. 8 months and no problems. General Your general opinion of this product. Great amp for the cost. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The 3 channels are great. You will need to use a noisegate for the 3rd channel. the overdrive is excellent, but noisy. I have a Decimator G String. The amp has no reverb so you will need a pedal for that. I am using a Strymon Blue Sky and it sounds excellent. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I am happy with the tone of this amp. I buddied it up with my Marshall 1960 slant cab and am very happy with the tone. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Good Look Action How was the action out of the box? Enjoy all the features for the price, loop effect, Headphone jack, and MIDI feature.
