"Superfly, 2 Thumbs Up"

Feature:
Nice soft case/shoulder strap for great portability. Comes with rack ears to mount if desired. Well worth money spent

Quality:
Noise problem that you hear about was not an issue. The amp will run warm. I take very good care of my equipment so I do not see this as being a problem

Value:
Cant beat the price

Desirability:
Amp controls, proramming of EQ (parametric and graphic) and did I mention you can also edit the compression values all via downloadable software

Sound:
Great Bass Sound, easy to dial in. This amp is actually warmer than my big rig. Im using this with SWR Goliath Jr 2-10 4 ohm. Nice combination. This is my easy portable setup. The soundman loved the DI signal being sent

Ease of Use:
Easy

Support:
I emailed tech support, got quick response!

Overall:
Meets my needs for sound/portability

"Nice try"

Feature:
Yeah it's O.K. gig back and all. The Manual is really vague, there is no instructions for the editing software, and although fairly logical to use there are questions on a couple things that I can not find any information on.

Quality:
I would be concerned on the road. It is built well but my concern would be the electronics. There are some strange electical noises, so that is a little hard to trust.

Value:
For the price not bad. It would be a back up for me.

Desirability:
Yeah, sexy

Sound:
It takes a while to dial in a tone, but you can get a decent tone. Too noisy for studio.

Ease of Use:
The response from pushing the buttons and waiting for a reaction are slow at best. The editing software is useless since you dont deal in real time. Getting a tone of any kind is the weakest thing about this unit. On a live gig it's a problem.

Support:
Have not dealt with support.

Overall:
I'm already looking. Getting tones is a bit of work, especially live. It makes sense, but I think it came up a little short in regards to live useage. I'm sure if someone spent the time to set up tones it would be more use, but on a gig when you have to make adjustments for the room and stlye etc... A bit of work, and time consuming. The odd thing is to get the 500 watts you need an 8 ohm cab plugged in each speakon. It would be nice to just use a 4 ohm cab instead of lugging around another cab. Small and portable is the point here is it not?
