Feature:
Tuner and mute button are very convenient!

Quality:
The last reveiwer had the same problem as me - a bad buzzing coming from the cabinet every time you hit a low D. I brought it back to the dealer who couldn't fix it( I don't know how hard they tried )so they gave me another new one. The new one is fine.

Sound:
Great Ampeg tone!

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use and dial in your tone.

Support:
Talked with them via email about the buzzing problem and they didn't have a clue what was wrong but at least they answered me.

Overall:
A very good amp but the buzzing problem was a big ordeal. I would avoid this amp unless you could try it before you purchase one to make sure it doesn't buzz.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
The style settings are helpful, but there's not much it needs to tweak the sound. I just wanted a good clean warm signature Ampeg sound. Not for everybody, but perfect for me. With the tube preamp, I can try out different brands of tubes and customize the sound even more.

Quality:
I noticed a buzzing when I hit a low D from the baffle when it was delivered. Could be caused by lots of things including transport. Still, a professional quality amp shouldn't be buzzing at all. I pulled the grille, found the cause (one spot on the woofer basket where it mounts to the baffle. Easily fixed, I reefed down all the screws I could find and it's as clean as can be now.

Value:
It ain't cheap. But it'll last forever. Way overbuilt and rugged. Inspires confidence.

Desirability:
Um remember, it says Ampeg all over it... Lots of cache

Sound:
Very warm, very loud, exactly the kind of tone that I'm addicted to. Luckily, I started with Ampeg, and have never looked back. This one is smooth in response from bottom to top. And, with the new tube preamp, I can crank the gain setting and the warmth just glows. Couldn't be happier, especially considering it's a combo.

Ease of Use:
Very simple. not a lot of extra stuff to play/distort my nice bass with.

Support:
An Ampeg tech has always e-mailed or responded by phone immediately. No problems, no wait. They stand by their gear.

Overall:
This will keep me happy for a long time.

Feature:
Not a lot of features, but a solid amp such as this does not need a lot of adjustments. I would like there to be a tilt back feature. The tuner is convenient.

Quality:
Solid and dependable

Value:
Priced a little high but delivers the goods.

Desirability:
Basic apperance. The diamond looks better. I don't think the quality is better though.

Sound:
I love the tone! Tone! Tone! Lots of head room. I love clean low end and this one has it.

Ease of Use:
operation is very easy and straight foward. Pure Ampeg.

Support:
N/A not needed yet......

Overall:
I think I will be happt with this after a very long search. I finally went with what I wanted all along.
