"A Steal of A Deal! A lot of sound for a little price! Don't pass it up!"

Feature:
Gain, Level, Bass, Mid and Treble...what more do you need for a warm-up or recording amp? With the RCA jacks for tape in and out plus a headphone jack its has got some great features with a lot of different use possibilities.

Quality:
Its German engineering and Chinese production...88% of everything you buy now is made in China. I can find not faults with the workmanship or materials. For the price you really can't do much better.

Value:
You really have to search long and hard to find a better deal on a 15 watt RMS amplifier with these features!

Desirability:
The "Vintage" look is a real eye catcher, and the sound just pulls the rest of you in...you'll want this amp!

Sound:
For an analog practice amp, this thing kicks. It's sound is so clear that you really have to play clean and with attention to detail. No overdrive button on it to cover lousy playing, but with the gain cranked all the way up it gives a fairly serviceable crunch...for best results though I suggest plugging a Boss DS-1 in between your guitar and amp. I got this on sale at Guitar Center and its worth every penny!

Support:
The only problem is that the company is located in Germany...but e-mails were answered and promptly and service is above average.

Overall:
I sincerely doubt that I'll look for another practice amp, for the convenient size and great sound you get from this little box its a keeper!

"Looks neat and retro, but sounds terrible!"

Desirability:
It is neat. If the sound was just OK, it would be great, but it is not.

Sound:
You want to like this amp because it is neat and retro. But the sound is just awful. Obviously, expectations should be low because it is a small, inexpensive practice amp. But, come on! The tone is terrible. The only way to get any tolerable sound is to adjust the treble and mid to 1 and turn the bass up. Otherwise the harshness is unbearable. The distortion on the amp is almost serviceable.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
Picture this: you and your buddies have a band. You've been gigging around town and are making a name for yourselves. It's time to start doing some serious songwriting and get that first CD done. You grab your guitar and your GX108 and drive over to the bass player's house. He's got the PC up and running and a cookin' drum loop is coming from the soundcard. Using the tape inputs, he hooks up the left soundcard output to your GX108 and the right out to his BX108, and plugs a tape out from each amp into the soundcard inputs. He briefly explains his song idea then sets the PC in record and off you go. After a couple takes, you've got good guide tracks for a new song. You save it, email it to your keyboard player and your singer, and start working on the next tuneĆ”

That's just one example of the many ways you can effectively use the new practice combos. You can also use them for small, unplugged gigs. Or, if you play keyboards, to give those bass or guitar samples an extra touch of realism for your demos or MIDI productions.

Of course, you can also simply practice with them. And don't leave home without one: it's about the best thing you can have along on tour for warming up before the gig or keeping your chops up in the hotel room on a day off.

Custom-made 8 in. speaker
