"Great Friggin Amp"

Feature:
The controls are simple and way easy to use. I don't really like amps with all those built in effects and crap. I'de rather run a pedal or an effects board directly through the amp. This amp is perfect for that.

Quality:
The cabinet is built very solid. Perfect for road abuse and studio use. (I use mine as a small coffee table occasionally)

Value:
I paid around 300$ (plus tax). This amp is a little underpriced if you ask me. It sounds as great as most tube amps double this price.

Desirability:
As far as "Sex Appeal" goes, This amp is really much to look at. Just close your eyes and you'll think you're hearing something much bigger.

Sound:
This amp is friggin sweet! I play a Fender Deluxe P-Bass Special through it and the sound is awsome. The low-end rumble on this baby is perfect.

Support:
I've emailed SWR telling them how much I love the amp, and they responded very promptly. I don't think I'll need any assistance anytime soon.

Overall:
If I had the option, I would buy it all over again. Don't buy this amp based on my review. If you like what you see, find a place that carries it and test it out. Sometimes it's the individual peice of equipment that works great, and mine did. I'm sure there are plenty of LA15's out there that absolutly suck. Always test out equipment before you buy.

"Amazing amp, must hear for yourself"

Quality:
it is so durable i got water in the one i used and i let it set and i dried it out and it still rocked like a champ. and it was tough so that you weren't afraid of hitting it on something and hurting the amp, you were most times more worried about what you hit getting hurt.

Value:
it's so worth the price.

Desirability:
kinda lazy on design it's just a big box with knobs set inside of the top.

Sound:
nothing very powerful and so easy to use three knobs, bass, mid and treble, easy to get awesome sound.

Support:
didn't need to complain it was great

Overall:
i was extremely satisfied for the time i played with it, i recently gave it back to the people i borrowed it from and i bought a Behringer Ultrabass BX1200 and the SWR was so much more playable with this amp if you mess with one knob a little bit it seems like the whole sound changes, with the SWR you didn't need to worry about that.
