Leave it to the tone-obsessed engineering staff at Ampeg to come up with the no-compromise, 20-watt, all-tube, point-to-point wired J-20 combo. Part of the Diamond Blue Lead Series, the J-20 Jet's retro-styling is highly evocative of the '60s in attitude, as well as tone. Learn More...

"For Home Use Only"

Feature:
Love the tremolo and it has sweet reverb. Gives some excellent distance to your guitar, especially for solo/lead material. Knobs are big and easy to turn. I recommend purchasing a footswitch.

Quality:
Sturdy. Travels well. Tubes are well protected in cage and all parts are tightened down. It's a tough little box.

Desirability:
Very classy. Has a vintage look. And love those big knobs on top. It truth, it's looks are a major selling feature.

Sound:
Good clean sound with excellent reverb. Requires pedals for distortion, but even those sound good. Do not recommend this amp for live sound at all. It simply does not have that kind of power, but as a recording/at home practice amp it excels. That said, I bought mine for $350 and would have more reservations should I have paid the full price. If you play a humbucker (SG, Les Paul) this amp tends to crap out pretty quick (say around 3). With a strat single-coil you get a little more, but the power is lacking if you're looking to jam or play live. My sound score is based solely on my purpose of recording with it.

Support:
no experience

Overall:
Ultimately, this amp is ideal for recording and home playing. I had hoped to play live with it, but it simply can't cut it in terms of volume, so I had to purchase another with more wattage. I will always record with it. The clean and tremolo are unbeatable and provide much pleasure.

"Very nice amp!"

Feature:
Not too many features, but that's it's appeal.

Quality:
Made like a tank, for real!

Value:
It could be a little cheaper.

Desirability:
Great alternative to Fender.

Sound:
A different kind of clean sound, but very musical. Very cool for blues and R and B. Works very well with pedals.

Support:
Don't really know.

Overall:
Very nice workingman's amp.
