Sound: Upgraded from my Hartke, Hartke is a good amp and can't complain, but Ampeg is the Cadillac. Feature: Eq, Limiter, simple to operate Ease of Use: Fine sound, in fact, it sounds like an Ampeg Quality: No problems, do't expect any. Value: Good price but Cad's are not cheap. Manufacturer Support: I've heard there good, but haven't needed to dial up. The Wow Factor: Got it, Me happy. Overall: I'm back to playing in bands and this is the right tool. :-)

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: bass, mid and treble with a 9 band eq allows you to find any tone you like. plenty of power for many cabinet combos...4 tens, 2 tens and a15 Feature: the limiter is a nice feature. eq on off button is cool. wish it had a tuner out Ease of Use: controls are kept simple. this is an advantage for someone who does not understand crossovers, frequency and slope. very easy to find any tone. turn the amp on, make a few adjustments on the eq and play. Quality: pots have a tight feel. tough case. all screws were tight Value: power and tone for under $600 Manufacturer Support: who needs support if you never have to use it? The Wow Factor: product is kind of plain looking but who really needs all the led lighting and polished chrome. i buy amps based on sound. Overall: a great buy for the starving musician who does not have $1200 for a head.

Back to Product Information
Sound: It sounds pretty good but with the lack of any tubes, it can sound too chimey and brittle. Feature: It contains a good variety of equalization, but it has no parametric EQ. The construction is quite good actually and the soldering was all good. Ease of Use: It was so easy, anyone who has used an amplifier can use it. Quality: Although this is made in China, and NOT the USA like Ampeg used to be, it is still pretty good. It actually contains a TOROIDAL transformer, which is quite impressive.

Back to Product Information
Sound: My bass is very cheap so it acts as the weakest link. I used it with a good six stringer and it sang. The tone sensitivities of the potentiometers could have been better, but with the 9 band, it works just fine. This is probably just because I have a passive bass. Feature: It had every interface you could ever want. All with sturdy construction. Ease of Use: To people new to electronics or musical equipment, it could be a struggle at first. I have a background in music and electronics so it was self explanitory. Quality: Great product. Well built, functions perfectly and has a solid as a rock construction. Value: I am a guy who doesn't like to spend money if I don't have to, but this was probably worth the investment. Manufacturer Support: I have never needed any assistance and I don't expect to. The Wow Factor: I love the color scheme and materials it's made from. It's beautiful. The only thing I would want is a tube driven circuit, but that's not practical for this price. Overall: I will probably keep this product for a very long time. Even the potentiometers have wipers that don't make scratching at all. It's made from quality electrical components.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Sounded great when I first bought it. After a few months and a few gigs it started on the decline. Just seems to be inconsistent now. Feature: Has all the basic features you need from a basic amp. Ease of Use: Not much to figure out here. Quality: I've had this amp a year and a half and it's been in the shop twice. It seems the components on the "upper" upside-down circuit board keep on shaking loose. Not quite the amp you would want for two or three gigs a month. BTW, my band plays LOUD. Value: Not bad in terms of price, but not a real sturdy amp. It's no SVT. Manufacturer Support: Don't bother even calling...

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: the sound is great, from slap to blues this amp can make the sound you want with its 9 band equaliser, with it turned off it still sounds great and is easy to adjust. Feature: 9 band eq, limiter not much else in the way of features, its pretty simple Quality: very well made. better than the hartke5500 and ashdown mag 300 i had, it can pump out loads of volume and doesnt get the least bit hot, the limiter really helps in longevity. everything on it feels solid, all the pots are tight and its heavy Value: worth it Manufacturer Support: never had to contact them, i have a crate combo that i have played at full volume for ages, and not one problem.
