Feature:
Features: Volume; 3-band (active) EQ; TRS and XLR inputs; XLR output. For what the PE60 is designed to be, the features are good...you don't really need anything else. The On-board EQ, in particular, is a helpful extra for mathing the output to differing environments ... small room, large room, studio, band practice.

Quality:
My PE60 seems to be built well. The cab WILL resonate on occasion, but no more so than many smaller cab's. Some of that is based on what you're feeding into it..... EQ'ing either your external feed, or the PE60, will fix it. The build quality itself is very good. Tech 21 is made in the USA .... in this age of cheap Chinese products being pushed into everyone's life as 'inexpensive alternatives', it's nice to know that there's still some true quality US gear backed by a committed manufacturer that you can actually TALK TO.

Value:
The PE60 is not a 'hign-end' product, but delivers high-end results. That's the real value to be had with the unit.

Desirability:
I own it. I can stand to have another one for stereo applications.

Sound:
An extremely convenient power amp/speaker configuration...easy to set up, haul around, tear down.... good-looking and light-weight. The PE60 is a great solution for any type of analog or digital preamp application; it takes the input source and just amplifies it without coloration. Anyone who's been battling with their guitar amp's inability to reproduce pleasing sounds from a processor will cherish the PE60. It sits well in a studio setting and mic's up great. It's loud enough to fit in with most rehearsals and gigs.

Ease of Use:
As easy to use as one would expect. ONE GRIPE I have - the controls are tucked around on the back-side and underneath on the bottom of the chassis. TOTALLY A DRAG. The consolation is that you won't need to dial pot's and plug/un-plug that much, so it's not a huge downside. Other than this obvious design flaw, the PE60 is a great piece of gear. For any player who applies digital or analog modelling/emulation in their musical world, the PE60 is an in-expensive and convenient piece of gear that will always be useful.

Support:
I've only had e-mail interactions to-date; but they're always responsive, with useful commentary.

Overall:
See other sections. I'm a big fan of Tech 21, and the PE60 in particular. It fits a nitch, and solves that part of the player's equation regarding how to process a modeller's feed.

Feature:
Simple. It looks good, and has a Celestion Seventy 80 speaker. 1/4 in and XLR in. Level, High, Mid, Low, Ground Lift for XLR Out. That's it.

Quality:
Seems to be solid enough. Its light, which is a plus.

Value:
There isn't much to this thing, which is really the point of owning it. I guess you could get the parts and bolt something like this together, but might not be any cheaper or look as good.

Desirability:
This thing looks cool. Clean, portable, Celestion speaker, cool vibe, great sound, light, very useful XLR out, not too noisy. All in all, its a great way to get some live use from your modeling pre.

Sound:
You must have some type of preamp/modeling device to run into this thing to get a good sound. It sounds very good with my POD. I doubt I'll ever need more than one. PLENTY of volume. I might get another if I want to go stereo, but I'll just run the line out to the board for now. Would like to have something like a "presence" knob to make the sound more crisp without messing with the low/mid/high knobs. But if you work at it you can get a very good tone. At first I was disappointed, but I found that cranking the level on the amp sends plenty of power to the speaker to get a good tone. Then, I just adjust the output level on the POD to the appropriate volume and it sounds great to me.

Support:
No need yet.

Overall:
Can't complain. In fact I'm very happy with it.

Feature:
The XLR in and out is very useful.

Sound:
Buy two and go stereo! I love my rig. I use a Digitech RP2000 and go out stereo through a double direct box to two Power Engines. It sounds great!

Support:
I have communicated with the staff at Tech 21 and they were very responsive and helpful.

This is perfect to add on to a Trademark 60 (they are the same size) but will work great with any system. It is perfect for those who use a POD, Digitech or Sans Amp/Tri AC preamp and want their live sound to be just the same as the modeller. It's a clean and clear 60 watts.

This a great option for someone who owns a preamp/fx processor in floor pedal or rackmount format. The unit accurately amplifies the input signal without additional color. Great for practicing and small gigs.
