Only a few weeks but seems solid and being in my setup which does not travel no probs there but looks like it can take some abuse, it is heavier to one side though.

Your general opinion of this product.
Overall very nice the artist presets are spot on and they make it that you can dial in a sound very quickly so at home makes it easy to be lazy.
My only complaint is that the presets are not on the same volume so some presets are quiet and the next is too loud it would have been nice to maintain a solid volume when switching

Seems to be built pretty heavy duty. The sucker is almost 40 pounds and the pedal board is metal and not plastic like some other boards.

I've only had it a couple of months, so I don't know yet.

Your general opinion of this product.
I love this head. I was using a small P.A. head before and it sounded ok, but I got this along with the pedal board and I'm in love. I set my own sounds and I was able to set aside all of my single pedals.

How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It's very easy to control and set your own sounds as long as you're using the USB connection that's on the pedal. The head itself doesn't have the USB connection and I'm not sure if it can hook up to the computer with the ethernet cable. Works great on my Mac, so I'm sure it will work on a Windows PC as well.
Tone

Everything you could want, pitch dives, pitch shifting, harmonizer. I have settings for drop tuning. I have it set up for 1/2 step down, and a full step down for both clean and distorted tones. This way I don't have to worry about tuning my guitars down every time my band does a song that requires a dropped tuning.

only had it a month but if its as dependable as my original spider, it will last a long time..got my first spider in 1999 and it's still rockin' and gigging regularly..

Your general opinion of this product.
after sending one defective unit back,the replacement i recieved kicks butt..all in all, this is as close to a flextone head as you'll ever get unless you find an orininal flextone somewhere..

Dependable electronics so far. I bet they outlast the housing.
Reliability

So far so good. I baby this amp due to it's weak feel.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Overall I give it a 4. Good all around amp with tonal options provided your pickups are jacked. Well built for what it's built from. Large corner guards help if you're extra careless.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Feels like a head...one that is off balance. Weighted heavier on one side due to the construction of the actual amp. Great handle.
Tone

Tone is whatever you want it to be as long as it is just short of tube beef(Not the 3lb of hamburger you find at value grocery stores).

Well made, but for a beginner or whoever I say make a nice sounding amp which is great clean, then make a moderatley simple OD Drive & dist. I just feel all the presets are silly, if you can dial them up yourselves most likely youll find a tone you like that way & the money they save on removing the presets they can put a preamp tube in

Your general opinion of this product.
I bought this cause it had a nice price, I think they are barking up the wrong tree with some of the features, thats not why I chose it, in addtion to the nice price I got it for, it has some decent tones
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Plays odd when tanked at high volume (for me) not a stage amp the vibrato for instance looses character and my pedal board which doesnt really change on a tube amp looses input strength even though i have a boost pedal

I just picked this up for Christmas and so far I am pretty satisfued with it. If your not into reading the manual, it probably isn't for you. It does require a little effort to figure this thing out. Once you do, you'll love the sounds you can get out of it. The built in sampling and all the features make this a great amp for the $$.
