SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: This has good sound. Don't let the others below who said it was bad fool you. They obviously know nothing about tone. This has excellent clean channel with a excellent distorted channel. When it is distorted you can hear every note picked which makes it sound a lot cleaner. Definately better than a Crate stacks right up against a Fender, Washburn or Line 6 and I've owned all of them before. Feature: The features are pretty basic but I was looking for a basic amp that didn't have tones of DSP effects that just sucked and that I would never use. This would be an excellent amp with a processor or effects pedals. The equalizer features for both channels rock there are the same amount for both channels which is something most people should look for. This makes you capable of setting a nice bassy clean sound and then a nice bright distorted sound without having to switch equalizer settings each time you change channels. Ease of Use: Very easy to use Quality: Good quality. Nothing has every broken on it and has a very sturdy constuction to it. You will be able to tell when you pick it up. The quality of the sound and everything else is great. Anyone who says this amp sounds bad they just have very crappy pickups in their guitar and just blame it on the amp. Buy a seymour duncan or Lawrence pickups and your good to go. Value: Good value. I didn't buy it new I bought it used from a music store. cost me only $150 so I feel very lucky. Manufacturer Support: Never needed it and dont expect I ever will. The Wow Factor: It's got good professional look to it. Reminds me a lot of a Fender amp. Overall: the only thing I would ever replace this with is a TB100R Just to get the extra wattage. I don't expect this to ever wear out. I remeber being in the store staring at brand new 30 watt amps for the same price I paid for this and I turned on the other ones and played em (most being Crate) and then I turned on this and IMMEDIATELY wanted it. My wife was with me and she wasn't too sure I should buy it from just look at it but when I turned it on she said you have to get this one. It is way better. And I sincerely agree.

Sound: I love the amount of gain. Feature: The 12" power jam speaker is wayyyyyy louder the the 8" or the 10". It comes with a 2 button foot switch so you can switch channels during a song like in smells like teen spirit. Quality: It has held up well so far. It looks fine. It sounds fine. Value: This amp could easily be sold for 350. Any thing less that that is a steal. Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed any service. It comes with a 5 year warranty. The Wow Factor: It looks nice. It goes with my ibanez guitar. Overall: You can't buy any better amp for 250.00. I am very satisfied with it. I play in a garage band. Before we get a big gig a plan on buying a cabinet, maybe a marshall or another ibanez.

Sound: the sound is horrible unless you like toneless sterile distortion. the clean channel is ok i guess Feature: nice it came with the double foot switch, reverb is nice Quality: never left my house so i dont really knwo if it would hold up, its fine sitting in one spot Value: a lot of watts for cheap but the sound just isnt there The Wow Factor: i bought off the net without trying it first...HUGE mistake Overall: its loud but like i said the tone is horrible. Id only suggest getting it if you play nothing but metal but even for that its not to good in my opinion.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Worst sound ever. I bought it when I started playing guitar so I didnt really noticed. Distortion is awful. Clean channels hides lots of your guitar sounds. It makes good guitars sound bad. Those who think its good just didnt listened to other amps. Feature: Well, there is the basics features for a 50W amp. Could have included DSP effects. Quality: Plastic parts break easily, especialy on the corners (which are supposed to protect, not to break.) Value: For this price, I can get a better amp, seriously. But they are hard to find. Manufacturer Support: Did not need that The Wow Factor: No metal parts or shiny plates or whatever, which is cool for an amp. Looks really boring. Overall: Bad sounding, very poor quality.
