"Ampeg B5R...why not?"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
no reason why this amp will not last forever, If I win a lottery I may but something else.....but for now why??
Sound
ok, there are probably better amps out there, but ampeg is a proven winner and this amp has the head room to prove it's worth, the clean is typical ampeg....sweet and clean. the od is a bit more work to get what you want, but combining the two channels creating a morph is fantastic. you can create endless oppostunities for sound....the octave feature is cool but may only be used in some brief very brief occurances....
Features
for the price the foot switch should be included....not an after market buy
Quality
can't complain here, built tough....
Value
sure it's expensive in some sense's, but depending on what you are looking for this is a great amp and value (if they include the footswitch)
Manufacturer Support
don't know
The Wow Factor
it I didn't I wouldn't have bought it, but I do like the crome and the swre's and mesa's I considered....eye candy
