Overall: The amp has it's goods and bads, however the goods outweigh the bads. If you're a novice player looking for something with more than the basics and something less than "insane", this is an ideal amp. The weight is good and makes it easily portable, however it doesn't get that full sound on the reverb that you get from more heavily constructed cabs. The highs are brilliant and clean, where the lows are good, but could be better with tighter reflex on the speaker matrix. I run an RP500 or Weeping Demon through this with my RG1570's and I can't complain. Bottom line, if you've graduated from a desk top 15w amp but aren't ready to hit the big stage just yet, this is an amp that will grow with you and help take you to further levels.

Sound: The carbon fiber cabinet is strong and light weight but does not sound nearly as full as a wood cabinet. The speakers are also not that good. They lack bass response. Chords sound rich at low volumes. The amp has punch at high volume levels. The louder the volume the less gain I like to use. I disconnected the internal speakers and run this out at 4 ohms into my Bogner cab at 8 ohms with the two Celestion speakers and it sounds better. Feature: There are 4 channels and a damping switch giving a total of 8 basic sounds. The clean channel sounds best with the gain turned up all the way and the master volume up halfway. The damping switch offers a vintage boosted mids when off or a flat or scooped mids sound when swithced on, I prefer using the damping off and boosting the bass knob to about 3/4 of the way up. The digital effects chorus sound best when the amp is clean, the phaser is OK but the flanger is too bright. The octave effect is great for running scales and riffs. I use the plate reverb setting instead of the spring reverb and I set the tape delay for a very short delay using either the crunch or OD 1 channels. Manufacturer Support: No phone number here in the US.

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.

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.
