Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
This amp is built like a tank with high-quality materials.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Haven't had it for a long time, but I can tell it has great durability.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Ended up being the perfect amp for a wide variety of tones.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It has amazing tone and really pulls out sustain. I can get a great clean sound, an even better chunky sound, and an incredible metal sound from it. With a Digitech RP1000, I am able to get some of the best sound I've heard.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
It may be a combo amp, but it sounds like a half stack. You can really crank this one up and still maintain great tone.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Finish is great and durable.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Everything was ready to go...plugged in, let warm up for just a bit and then let it scream.
