Ibanez TB100R Toneblaster Guitar Combo Amplifier with Reverb (100 Watts, 2x12 in.)

Feature:
What more do you need. 1 clean, 1 distorted channed. Volume, bass, mid, treble and reverb for each. Plus a quality metal foot switch with BOOST! The reverb is slightly weak but I can get nice surf sounds with reverb maxed and treble up on the bridge pick-up.

Quality:
This is a rugged quality amp. -1 on Tolex quality, may be a little thin. I use it daily at home, weekly at church plus gigs. Not a problem. It is road worthy. I use it with a Shure SM57 mike through a PA system on the road and at church. Great crisp clean sound.

Value:
Don't tell Ibanez, but this is worth a couple hundred more. Great value for what you get. I don't have the ext cabs, but I've heard them. Quite good, and a great value also. With the PA system, I havn't need them

Desirability:
This is a very attractive amp. Easy to look at, classy grill cover.

Sound:
Outstanding sound. Not perfect sustain like a several thousand $ tube, but terrific. Very good low and high end with adequate sustain. I use a Jazz-Fusion Peavy and L.P. Studio and am able to find wonderfull full chording through the clean and excellent lead through both clean and dirty side. Just have to experiment with the settings.

Support:
I say the best because our local music shop deals directly with Ibanez, Peavy and Marshall. By the way I sat this next to high quality Marshalls and a Peavy 212 Special. Easier to work with and almost identical sound production. So far my plastic washers have held up fine! If they need replaced no big deal.

Overall:
No need to look around at this point. I may well add the 4-12 cab. I'm finding very good setting for any genre of music I play (Country, Texas blues,Christian Worship)

Feature:
Personally, I like to use my own effects. The reverb to me is not nessesary and I rarely use it. My favorite part is the mid-shift. blast the overdrive into sonic dementions. Kick on the boost for solos so thick even Eric Johnson would perk up. Footswitch. Expandable to a full stack. The widest range of overdrive and metal. The best idea in amps in a long time. The new classic.

Quality:
This amp is a tank. Road worthy and solid. The front grill cover is easily removed and replaced. I play loud. Very loud. The speakers are tough and put out the same response from the first cord to the last note. Well built, solid immaculate construction, made to piss off your grandkids with that old time rock and roll of the 00's

Value:
Everything I need in one package? You bet your ass it's a good value.

Desirability:
Says Ibanez right on the cover. Very prestigious company. Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, God...I mean Steve Vai. The guitars are perfect, why wouldn't the amps be?

Sound:
This is an amazing combo. I have owned this one for about 3 months and cannot get enough. I usually play thru the clean channel with my Boss Metal Zone and get the most killer sounds. My styles range from neo-classical to blues and metal to Vai-esque shred. There is no tone I can imagine that I cannot reach with this amp. The best part is the extention speaker jack. Together it makes a very interesting 3/4 stack. The combo's speakers can be unplugged to use as a regular head. I suggest using the 3/4. The tones, clean or overdrive, are quite impressive. Add your own effects to contour your own sound. There is enough power to shake things all night. Just ask my neighbors.

Support:
I have not had to use any customer service for this product.

Overall:
If you can't tell from reading the above, I love this amp. A combo and stack sound in one. Brilliant. This is my amp of choice and The only supplements I would need would be about 10 more just like it.
