Feature:
I wish it had a line out on it.

Sound:
The Amp is great and couldn't be any better except it doesn't have a line out for recording purposes or main mixer connections. It has to be miked for recording. The sound can't be beat anywhere.

I ordered it, it came on time and the packaging was great. Factory sealed then put in another box with padding. Anyway about the amp. The tube preamp is great and the eq is awesome. I want more power so i will go to the 4000. However if you only need the 200 watts, this will do. I use a pedal to boost the volume a bit and it is great.

Awesome, I'm using it with the Hartke 410 Transport cabinet and it sounds great. I play Jazz mostly and an little R&B along with Hip-Hop. For the price you can't go wrong. Sweet! Sweet! Sweet!

I've had one of these for about 7 years and absolutely love it. I gig non-stop and haven't had any problems with it. Despite the low wattage, it has plenty of power: I use it to power an SWR 2x10, Hartke 410, and an SWR Big Ben 18 all at once and it has *more* than enough juice... as a matter of fact, I've never played anywhere that I've had to turn it up higher than 5.

Sound is absolutely fabulous.... I would recommend it to anyone.

I got this unit a couple of weeks ago and for the price I think it's great. The power is enough for most club situations. There's a lot nice features on this guy. If your using a single 15 or 18" the tone shaping you can do with the eq Means you don't have to run 10's with it.

I have owned this head for 6 years. It is a good workhorse, and has served me well, but has a few problems that I just cannot overlook. Running it through a 410 tp and 115 tp, it distorts at a very low volume level. The eq is wonderful, but when it is set flat, it seems a little muddy. The tube and solid pre-amps sound almost identical, and the tube is not nearly as warm as some other manufacturers.
