zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Amazing because it is."

Sound: This amp is so crisp and clear in the clean channel, the distortion channel is really great too, the solo channel squeels a little too much though... oh well;-) Feature: Footpedal, wheels.....OH YEAH! 2x12 60watt speakers!! Ease of Use: takes about a day to set it to your style exactly, but it's not hard to do if you know how to turn a knob. Quality: Solid, I was a little skeptical at first about the quality because of what Picky Nicky below me said about the knobs, mine is solid. Value: Amazing for the price Manufacturer Support: haven't had to deal w/ them yet. The Wow Factor: Oh You'll deffinatly pick up some sexy mommas....Grandmama's that is. the classic vintage looks are to die for lol Overall: Great deal. Great Amp. Buy it Now.

Style of Music: Rock alternative/Ska/metal

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Well worth $300.00."

Sound: This amp supplies me with the three basic sounds I need. The Rhythm Channel can be dialed in for a really decent Blues tone. The Clean is real clean of course and seems to lack the tone control I need to get the mids and high to break out past the drums. The Solo channel will get away from you real easy. I need it for my Hendrix tunes, so I fiddle with the shape control in lieu of real tone controls, to keep it under check. Feature: Comes WITH the foot pedal, cable and casters. As before it gives me the three basic Channels I need with or without effects, essentially giving me 6. I only wish they had added a Boost that would give each channel a programmable volume increase for jumping into leads with out having to switch channels or take your hand off the strings to adjust the guitar volume. Ease of Use: The book supplied seems to cover all the bases. The degree of control over the effects is a little wanting, but for the price and 2 knob design, you can't expect much. 1 afternoon and halfway through a Gig, I had it figured out. Quality: Jury's still out on this one, I sent my first one back because of a short in the Solo channel Gain control. ZZounds sent me an immediate replacement without any hassle. All the knobs wiggle loosely when adjusted, and I'm sure they wont survive a hit from something bouncing around in the equipment van. Value: For $300.00 Bucks, this amp kicks AZZ! Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with Crate (Loud Inc.)yet. I would assume since they are also the Ampeg people that their service would be satisfactory. The Wow Factor: This is my future back up amp. I intend to get a Peavey Vyper 120 (not available till August, but this amp has already proven gig worthy. Overall: I would get another one. I am waiting to see how well it holds up to a full summer of gigging

Style of Music: Blues and Classic Rock
