"High quality USA-made, well designed, pro-features, easy to move."

Feature:
Stereo effects sends-A+ Extendable handle with wheels A+ Mic input A+ Balanced outputs A+

Quality:
In the past two decades, I've used several Peavey products and none of them have ever let me down. They seem to keep innovating and producing good stuff and they know how to make reliable stuff at a fair price.

Value:
The onl keyboard amp I know of that sounds better is the Traynor stereo K4. That is an amazing amp! But this is 90% of that for much less money. Also, the Traynor amp does not have the handle and wheels, which I feel is essential for anyone who must move their own gear, and then play. Lifting heavy stuff is not conducive to great technique.

Desirability:
This is a practical workhorse amp of high quality. It is thoughtfully designed, sounds good and has professional features. It is reliable and made here in the USA. Highly recommended!

Sound:
Stereo capable, but not true stereo, this amp interfaces nicely with any FOH system. EQ is decent. What little you sacrifice in tweak-a-bility you gain in simplicity. Horn is decent. Woofers are quite good. Crossover point is a trifle harsh, but that is all but un-noticeable in live situations.

Ease of Use:
Love the handle and wheels. Like the simple controls.

Support:
I have only had two chances to use Peavey support. Once when I had to replace a blown speaker in a cheap guitar amp that I bought used. I was able to get a real live English-speaking person on the phone in a couple of minutes, ( during business hours ) and she got me the part quickly. Another time, I needed to repair an effects unit that was destroyed in a studio fire. Peavey sent us a new circuit board at cost. Great service!

"What A Cracking Little Amp"

Feature:
Ok, so there's not a lot going on. But really, any good musician, with a half reasonable piece of kit to play in the first place, won't need a thousand gismos to play with...

Quality:
Only just got it so I guess it's unfair to comment, but it feels like Top Gears Toyota Hilux. I reckon you could leave it in that same building and demolish it, and you could still gig with it afterwards...

Value:
Not one of the cheapest, but you definitely get what you pay for. Had a Beringer amp and sent it back in exchange for this one, there was no comparison.

Desirability:
Can amps be sexy ??

Sound:
Ok, so I've never had a proper keyboard amp before, I had just a cheap 100W per channel amp and two PA speakers, but this amp just blew me away. I know people have said it's only got EQ for high and low end, but that seems to do just fine. And I don't know what the guys talking about who said it couldn't handle low end stuff, perhaps he was doing some kind of drum and bass gospel, but again, seems to handle the stuff I need just great. Infact I had to take some of the low end out in a couple of songs we play. Overall, I couldn't ask for much better.

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play, simple as.

Support:
Again, haven't had to use it, and don't have any past dealings with it, so can't really comment...

Overall:
I can't see me wanting to change this thing for a long long time. I play pub gigs, and it's just great. Very pleased.
