perfect amp for podhd
Quality:
Built in the u.s. what else can I say
Sound:
The tone is great. I unplugged my my pod from my stack and plugged into the pw60 and made some eq adjustments and it sounded better. More clarity better harmonics better response. I did a side by side and the pw60 was just as loud as my 150watt tube amp.not as full as a tone but just as loud and better tone. If I had 4 pw60's it would sound better than my stack.due to the fact the pw60's eq cabanilities. The eq doesn't eq the tone coming in to the amp it eq's the caractor of the speaker.
Reliability:
Great I've been cranking it for hours. No overheating.
Overall:
Overall its a great sounding amp. Very loud. Loud enough to gig with. Will defenatly get your guitar above the sound of a drummer
Playability and Feel:
Great sound the seventy /80 speaker really comes alive.
Tone:
Tone is beautiful. The eq can transform the speaker from country twang to lagging metal chugging.
Finish:
Looks awesome real retro looking. Looks very boutique.
Action:
Great right out of the box.

Killer amp for Line 6 POD HD
Quality:
Solid. Get an amp cover. I got a cover for a Line 6 Spider iV 75 watt. Works great and $10 cheaper.
Sound:
Neutral. There is a 3 band EQ to put the finishing touches is a room. I haven't heard anything better to use with a modeling pre-amp.
Reliability:
Been using and moving 2-3 nights/wk to gigs for about a year. No problem. Doesn't come with a cover. Buy one. Getting a second PE-60. Not because of reliability but for Stereo sound
Overall:
Use this in smaller venues as my main backline and as a monitor in larger venues.
Playability and Feel:
Controls aren't the easiest to get to, but most adjustment I make are on my petal, not amp. Love the idea of connecting the amp to another to double power or stereo.
Tone:
Big natural sound by design. Shipped with a Celestion 70?
Haven't felt a need to replace the speaker
Finish:
Black tolex. Good fit and finish thru out.
Action:
N/A....Probably took time to break in the speaker but didn't notice. It started sounding better after a while but more likely that I was learning how to make best use of my POD

Awesome for modelers!
Quality:
Great quality should last years.
Sound:
The tone is exactly what I wanted. It is essentially a speaker/power amp combo. The Celestion is AWESOME! It doesnt color the sound at all. You need to make sure you're using a good modeler with decent cab modelers because it sounds like whatever amp/cab i play through it.
Reliability:
I have owned it three months at thi point, afgter you break in the speaker it sounds even better.
Overall:
This is a great product for people who use modeling pedals like myself. I use a POD XT Live and an RP1000 and both sound great (the rp a little more then the POD)
Playability and Feel:
Its not very heavy which is great for carting it to gigs. The controls are very minimal but they are active which take some getting used to. I boost the mid slightly and leave the treble and bass in the middle.
Tone:
The tone is whatever pedals youre running through it. It doesnt color the sound at all so if i want a 57 champ or a mesa triple rec thats what it sounds like.
Action:
Great shape, classic finish

Reliability:
I had to replace the input jack on one of them, it was cutting out. But they all work fine now. The Florida heat & humitity is murder on all equipment!
Overall:
It does just what it's supposed to. I own 3. 1 for my POD xt, 1 for my GR20, and 1 for my XP30 kybd. This way they're not conflicting with the speaker movement (signals arriving at different times)

Great amp for modeling preamps
Quality:
I haven't had it very long, just a few weeks. I have used it for a few practices and a gig, however. Everything appears to be well made so far. It looks great as far as finish and fit goes.
Overall:
I am really pleased so far. I use a Vox Tonelab SE with a Yamaha UD-Stomp, a Line6 FM4, and a Line6 DL4 pedal. I was worried about the volume working with a rock band, but it is more than loud enough. It is really light which is a nice feature as well. Overall, I love this amp. It does exactly what it is advertised as doing. My tones sound great through this amp. The other guitar player in the band has already asked where I got the amp and is thinking of getting one as well.
Playability and Feel:
N/A
Tone:
This amp is made to be transparent, and in my opinion succeeds at this mission.
Skill Level:
Intermediate
