"It's an incredible amp for the price"
I would by this amp again if stolen, after killing the guy who stole it. I probably won't even think about buying another amp for a few years, or till Ibanez makes a new line of amps.
Sound
I have an Ibanez RG320QS, and play mostly rock and metal, and this amp can do both perfectly. On the clean channel, it sounds very good, almost acoustic-sounding sometimes. With the overdrive, it does hard rock very well. On the hot channel, theres an a button to switch to the "X Mode", which tightens up the lower sounds. I seriously doubt you'd ever need a distortion pedal for this thing. The hot channel alone has some great distortion, but I was really impressed when kicked in the "X Mode". My friends bass sounds perfect through it as well.
Features
This amp has the clean channel, overdrive you can switch on for the clean channel, the hot channel, and the "X Mode" on the hot channel, which switches to a different preamp. The only other things you might need or want are a wah pedal and a delay pedal. Each channel has its own set of dials.
Ease of Use
This is extremely easy to use, three buttons, a power switch and 2 sets of dials for each channel.
Quality
This is extremely well made, all 71 lbs of it. It doesn't have metal corners, but very thick plastic ones instead. Cosmetically, I think that's a good thing, and they work just as well as metal ones do for protecting… read more the amp. It's been knocked around quite a bit, and theres one mark, and no change in performance.
Value
This amp should sell for much more than it's priced at. I wasn't as impressed with a $600 Fender tube amp as I was with this.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to deal with this, but it's Ibanez, so I imagine I wouldn't have any problems.
The Wow Factor
It looks great, which is an added bonus to the incredible sound of it.
