"Gibson amp..Disappointment"

Feature:
Yes, it came with a foot control for the reverb and tremolo,but it does not have tremolo..

Quality:
You can't judge a book from the cover..My amp looked great on the outside, but was a mess on the inside.. It broke down in less than 1 year, the repair shop said it was due to poor craftmenship...It was in the shop for well over 8 weeks.. However Gibson did pay for the repairs..I was ask at the time it broke down if I wanted a refund..I said No..I wanted the Gibson amp..I now know that was a mistake...The amp is still not right, and back in the shop...

Value:
No, it's over priced

Desirability:
I think it's a great amp, when it's working at 100%,,,The amp looks very good from that old style of the 60's...

Sound:
I have GA20 Gibson 2006..it's a nice amp... NO TREMOLO, I hope the new 2007 models get it... It has speed and depth with tube reverb

Ease of Use:
The amp is easy to learn the controls and what knobs does what and get the best sound

Support:
I used e-mail to contact Gibson...They sent a list of the repair shops for Gibson amps...The nearest to my home was about 75 miles... The repair shop was a little hard to get on the phone, it was like the techs were always not there or closed..... Gibson paid 100% for repairs after I complained

Overall:
I can't give it a higher mark than 8..When I first got this amp, I was very well satisfide with it's performence and sounds... The amp is not working at 100% and I don't know if it ever will again. I may keep it just to use here at home..but it's useless in the music world now.....I will try Fender amps next time...
