Feature:
Cool direct out slot, fx inputs and yadada.
Never used it other than to play back recordings from the jams which were just recorded and to amplify my keyboard.
Quality:
Overall, less than 2 years of use. Owned it for 2 2/5th's year, quality began to decrease mid 06'.
Value:
If you are careful with it and keep the volume to a reasonable level and direct out to a pa for louder amplification I am sure this amp would last a while.
Desirability:
It is a black box with a few nobs. It is heavy. Youch.
Sound:
I purchased this product in Early 2005, as my first Keyboard Amp. Sounded great, real loud, projected the Organ, Piano & Synth sounds of my Casio WK-3500 very well for about 6 months, and then my usage of this product slowed down dramatically. Started up again early 2006, no real problems then either, still very loud tones, would crank it to compete with the guitar, bass and drums. But mid 06' I began to notice a decrease in volume presence and a slight crackle and lack of power.. the 15in speaker/woofer blew out in April of this year. Right now it sounds horrible.
Sounded great for about a year.
Sounded like noise coming from a big black box, rather than the instrument itself.. know what i mean?
Ease of Use:
Was very easy, plug in the power cable, plug in your instrument, turn on, adjust volume and eq.
Support:
Never needed any.
Overall:
If you are a keyboardist, invest in a quality PA system. I purchased two Peavey PR 12's (will be exchanging them for PR 15's for more low end) and a Soundcraft Gigrac Powered Amp/Mixer. You will be much more satisfied.
Not a bad purchase for your first amplifier, but do some research and decide for yourself.
