Reverb. Line Out/Line In. Footswitch jack for channel.

Travel back in time. Yes, they're still around. The infamous Jet and Reverbrocket classic Lead amps give you the incredible all-tube tone you've been looking for in a compact package. Characterized by their outstandingly clean, fat round tone, they were, and are, the most sought-after amps for today's Jazz and Blues players. Guitar Players from around the world and every form of musical expression are hip to these amps. Solid construction, all tube circuitry, Diamond Blue cosmetics, stove-top knobs and, oh yes, vintage tube guitar tone. Tons of it.

Sound
I've owned this amp for 5 years. For the money, it's a great value by tube amp standards and it has a unique character and pretty if one-dimensional crystalline tone. Great for clean Jimi style lead/rhythm. Nice dirty overdrive. This is by no means an amp for serious crunch or those players who require a thick bottom end. But for clear punchy classic toned it's a great alternative to much more expensive tube rigs.
Features
Reverb is beautifully rich, when it works. I've had serious problems with the spring getting knocked outta whack. It's sporadic but madening. Truthfully this is a bit of a delicate amp. Things seem to shake loose? It comes with a channel/reverb footswitch that also works sometimes. I've had this problem with Fender footswitches too.
Quality
see above. Delicate.

Classic tone, classic price
The Wow Factor
Totally different. You dont see too many players with Ampeg 6-string amps. And this thing is f'ing georgeous. Silver face, blue old-school vinyl! shweet. Even the knobs are cool. Put this thing next to your co-guitarists Marshall and you will like a stud.
