Sound: Great Ampeg tone! Feature: Tuner and mute button are very convenient! Ease of Use: Very easy to use and dial in your tone. 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. Manufacturer 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.

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. 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. Ease of Use: Very simple. not a lot of extra stuff to play/distort my nice bass with. 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. Manufacturer Support: An Ampeg tech has always e-mailed or responded by phone immediately. No problems, no wait. They stand by their gear. The Wow Factor: Um remember, it says Ampeg all over it... Lots of cache Overall: This will keep me happy for a long time.

Sound: I love the tone! Tone! Tone! Lots of head room. I love clean low end and this one has it. 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. Ease of Use: operation is very easy and straight foward. Pure Ampeg. Quality: Solid and dependable Value: Priced a little high but delivers the goods. Manufacturer Support: N/A not needed yet...... The Wow Factor: Basic apperance. The diamond looks better. I don't think the quality is better though. Overall: I think I will be happt with this after a very long search. I finally went with what I wanted all along.
