Overall: I was looking amps over, especially all tube combo amps and read alot of great reviews for this Jet City. When I found Zzounds offering them new for just under $300, I had to say YES! Use the controls on this amp, in conjunction with your guitar's controls and you'll be amazed the tones you can get out of it. The Presence control is a sorta "top boost" and helps to cut thru. All the controls work as they should, too. Good "taper" and function. The reverb is good also. Work the MV and gain to get your dirts. Be aware, you WILL NOT get much clean headroom, ala, Fender or Vox. This amp gets LOUD too. I imagine adding another 1X12 extension cab would really push the air. It has external speaker jacks, too. For the price, it's a great deal for a classic rock tone machine!

Sound: I purchased this amp after I viewed some YouTube videos on it. The videos were pretty impressive. After receiving it, I put it through a few runs with my Epiphone 335 Reissue. The first day I wasn't that impressed due to being spoiled by Fender amps. Day 2, I had a rehearsal with my group so I thought now comes the real test! Day 2 was off the chain!! My keyboardist/saxophonist turned a few times due to what he was hearing from the amp. It was a much smoother sound than my Frontman 212. I know that's solid state compared to the tube of the Jet City. At rehearsal, I used my Tele' and Epi'. With that Epi' and a digital delay, it was pure Wes Montgomery/Lee Ritenour sweetness! I followed what I saw on YouTube with the Tele'. Unreal is an understatement! No it's not the overpriced brandname boutique amps but this Jet City has a sweet tone and a damn wallet-friendly price! Feature: No accessories needed. If you know how to play then there's your accessory. Ease of Use: It's a single channel amp so it's very easy to use. Take about 5 minutes to read the short manual. Quality: It may not have the vivid colors or special imported tweed covering but it's a very well made amp that's easy to transport. Personally, I like the big "333" on the front! I'm sure I'll get asked many questions about this amp. Value: Compared to other boutique-style amps this one beats the others hands down. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use it yet. I don't think I'll need to. The Wow Factor: Nice classy design. Overall: I hope to have this around for a very long time as I take good care of any equipment I own, regardless of the price paid for it.

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!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

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.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

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. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
