VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Great versatile amp. i play with a rock/blues/classic rock band and it can get any tone i need. from a hendrix sound to a country sound, to a heavy sound. the distortion is great the only complaint i have is that the boost on the pedal it comes with doesn't really boost the gain or the volume... i play with a guy that has a 3000 dollar mesa rig, and he was blown away by how much better this bogner sounds.... its the real deal for the money, you can't go wrong. And for you haters that say its made by line 6, guess again, the only thing that isn't bogner on it is the reverb, that is line 6, but everything else is pure bogner... don't have to do much tweaking to make it sound good... plug in and play. oh and this thing is LOUD! i practice with the whole band with the volume set on about 3..... Feature: only complaint was that the boost on the pedal doesn't really do anything. Ease of Use: plug in and play.... that easy.. Quality: SOLID! its heavy and its tough. Value: totally worth it. Great quality without having to go too hungry for a month or two in order to pay for it. Manufacturer Support: haven't needed to. The Wow Factor: its got a simple look, combining old school styles with new school materials... its not sexy but its not an eyesore either. but who cares the tone is kick ass. Overall: most like the tone. its great. least like that the boost doesn't actually boost anything. will combine with a fulltone ocd overdrive pedal in order to get the boost i need for those screaming leads...

Sound: very cool range of tones. bogner is the man and this is an incredible (and affordable -- his other amps go for thousands!) introduction to his sound. probably the loudest 40-watt amp i've ever heard. no problem keeping up with a crashy rock band. Feature: awesome sounding effects. tap tempo on the pedal would be cool but in no way a deal breaker. great components -- bogner doesn't cut corners. Ease of Use: honestly, i just plugged in and it sounded great. and that's how i like to do it -- my main rig is a classic fender bassman silverface 410. Quality: seems to me like it's made well. and it looks cool. i'd feel confident tossing it into the van every night. Value: value

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission.
