SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Outstanding sound. Not perfect sustain like a several thousand $ tube, but terrific. Very good low and high end with adequate sustain. I use a Jazz-Fusion Peavy and L.P. Studio and am able to find wonderfull full chording through the clean and excellent lead through both clean and dirty side. Just have to experiment with the settings. Feature: What more do you need. 1 clean, 1 distorted channed. Volume, bass, mid, treble and reverb for each. Plus a quality metal foot switch with BOOST! The reverb is slightly weak but I can get nice surf sounds with reverb maxed and treble up on the bridge pick-up. Quality: This is a rugged quality amp. -1 on Tolex quality, may be a little thin. I use it daily at home, weekly at church plus gigs. Not a problem. It is road worthy. I use it with a Shure SM57 mike through a PA system on the road and at church. Great crisp clean sound. Value: Don't tell Ibanez, but this is worth a couple hundred more. Great value for what you get. I don't have the ext cabs, but I've heard them. Quite good, and a great value also. With the PA system, I havn't need them Manufacturer Support: I say the best because our local music shop deals directly with Ibanez, Peavy and Marshall. By the way I sat this next to high quality Marshalls and a Peavy 212 Special. Easier to work with and almost identical sound production. So far my plastic washers have held up fine! If they need replaced no big deal. The Wow Factor: This is a very attractive amp. Easy to look at, classy grill cover. Overall: No need to look around at this point. I may well add the 4-12 cab. I'm finding very good setting for any genre of music I play (Country, Texas blues,Christian Worship)

Music Style: metalpopbluesclassicalshred. Is that a style?
Back to Product Information
Sound: This is an amazing combo. I have owned this one for about 3 months and cannot get enough. I usually play thru the clean channel with my Boss Metal Zone and get the most killer sounds. My styles range from neo-classical to blues and metal to Vai-esque shred. There is no tone I can imagine that I cannot reach with this amp. The best part is the extention speaker jack. Together it makes a very interesting 3/4 stack. The combo's speakers can be unplugged to use as a regular head. I suggest using the 3/4. The tones, clean or overdrive, are quite impressive. Add your own effects to contour your own sound. There is enough power to shake things all night. Just ask my neighbors. Feature: Personally, I like to use my own effects. The reverb to me is not nessesary and I rarely use it. My favorite part is the mid-shift. blast the overdrive into sonic dementions. Kick on the boost for solos so thick even Eric Johnson would perk up. Footswitch. Expandable to a full stack. The widest range of overdrive and metal. The best idea in amps in a long time. The new classic. Quality: This amp is a tank. Road worthy and solid. The front grill cover is easily removed and replaced. I play loud. Very loud. The speakers are tough and put out the same response from the first cord to the last note. Well built, solid immaculate construction, made to piss off your grandkids with that old time rock and roll of the 00's Value: Everything I need in one package? You bet your ass it's a good value. Manufacturer Support: I have not had to use any customer service for this product. The Wow Factor: Says Ibanez right on the cover. Very prestigious company. Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, God...I mean Steve Vai. The guitars are perfect, why wouldn't the amps be? Overall: If you can't tell from reading the above, I love this amp. A combo and stack sound in one. Brilliant. This is my amp of choice and The only supplements I would need would be about 10 more just like it.

Back to Product Information
Sound: This amp is incredible. No gimicks, no frills, just good sound. Versatile and LOUD. The clean channel at it's cleanest sounds very similar to my old 69 Fender Princeton, and when you push it with higher gain, it emits tones akin to my Ibanez Tubescreamer (the old puke green one). But this amp was made to have an original sound, and that it does. The parameters are responsive; a small change in bass mid or treble and the difference is clear. The dirty channel is where this amp becomes really amusing. Fat fat fat distortion. The range of tones is limitless, especially with the mid-shift, which allows a dramatic drop in mid frequency tones. Last, my favorite, the boost button. It allows you to double your volume on the fly. Sort of like "turning it up to eleven." I blew away my band the first time we practiced with my TB100. They couldn't believe how good I sounded. The reverb is weak. For adding some flavor, it is perfect, but if you are an oldies die-hard and just love that drowning in an ampitheater sound, well, this might leave you cold. Feature: Four button footswitch (boost-channel-midshift-reverb) with very bright leds, plus long cord. I got mine with an extension cab that is unnecessary but looks really cool. (unnecessary because this amp is loud enough already.) Knobs are well marked and easy enough to use. Quality: The covering SEEMS pretty weak. I say seems because I haven't yet put any scratches in it, but it just looks as though the nagahide whatever covering will tear and scuff really easily. Otherwise as solid as a rock. UPS beat mine up in shipping quite a bit, but everything withstood, except one of the side handles on the extension cab: it got a crack in the back which doesn't prevent it from being used, just looks stupid. Value: I got mine at a sale discount of about 250 bucks, but i would gladly pay the full price for another one. Manufacturer Support: dunno. haven't dealt with them yet. The Wow Factor: It is a black box. The size makes me pee my pants. Overall: If ever this amp goes sour, I will get it repaired. If repair isn't possible, I will buy a new one. If Ibanez doesn't make them anymore at that point, I will search for a used one. But I bet this amp outlives the rest of my gear.

Sound: I really love the sound of this amp. It allows you to crank the gain and rock out while showcasing the individuality of your playing style. And the clean channel is capable of some really mellow, haunting sounds. Feature: The footswitch is sturdy, the control panel is simple enough to understand on first use, and the closed-back cab design provides alot of extra push.... 'nuff said. Quality: So far so good... I've only had it out of the house a couple of times, but it has a heavy-duty feel to it. I think it could handle some serious abuse Value: UNBELIEVABLE VALUE!!! For the price you will pay for this amp it is a steal! This has the tone and reliability of an amp twice its price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with them, and that's the best kind of customer service.... get it right the first time. The Wow Factor: From just looking at it on the website I was definately impressed with its looks, but pictures don't do it justice. It really is a beautiful piece of machinery. Overall: All factors weighed: reliability, looks, sound, VALUE... This is one of the best amps I have ever owned.

Sound: This amp sounds sick. I got the tb412s to complete it and its now a 6x12 . Its great to use for the PA on the road, trust me. Perfect sound... Perfect. Feature: Features are all pointless if u have effects? why did they put overdrive on it. "overdrive" nice "clean". Quality: for some reason Ibanez put the amp connecting screws are on plastic spacers and nearly all of mine have cracked.. changing them to steel is a must Value: great price for such a great sounding amp. ive only had it for a year and i think it will last awhile The Wow Factor: great looking Overall: great

Sound: Not too good if you play it for about an hour, power dropped sound and speaker sort of sounded terrible. Mind you I only used the volume to about mid way 5. Feature: Yeah same old thing "clean' Distortion" but nothing great Quality: Mind was made in China, cabinet is cheap and not durable, built up below standards. If you take it along for jigging the vinyl covering the cabinet is very very thin and get torn easily. Speaker grill is not done up properly especially the base. Value: Cheap amp for home use only Manufacturer Support: No available, sad but true The Wow Factor: Read so much about it in the net but not impressive at all. Overall: Recommended for home use only, not for serious musician, amp will not hold at hogh volume.
