zZounds Gear Experts Say...
15-watt RMS. 8 in. speaker.

Picture this: you and your buddies have a band. You've been gigging around town and are making a name for yourselves. It's time to start doing some serious songwriting and get that first CD done. You grab your guitar and your GX108 and drive over to the bass player's house. He's got the PC up and running and a cookin' drum loop is coming from the soundcard. Using the tape inputs, he hooks up the left soundcard output to your GX108 and the right out to his BX108, and plugs a tape out from each amp into the soundcard inputs. He briefly explains his song idea then sets the PC in record and off you go. After a couple takes, you've got good guide tracks for a new song. You save it, email it to your keyboard player and your singer, and start working on the next tuneá

That's just one example of the many ways you can effectively use the new practice combos. You can also use them for small, unplugged gigs. Or, if you play keyboards, to give those bass or guitar samples an extra touch of realism for your demos or MIDI productions.

Of course, you can also simply practice with them. And don't leave home without one: it's about the best thing you can have along on tour for warming up before the gig or keeping your chops up in the hotel room on a day off.

I sincerely doubt that I'll look for another practice amp, for the convenient size and great sound you get from this little box its a keeper!
Sound
For an analog practice amp, this thing kicks. It's sound is so clear that you really have to play clean and with attention to detail. No overdrive button on it to cover lousy playing, but with the gain cranked all the way up it gives a fairly serviceable crunch...for best results though I suggest plugging a Boss DS-1 in between your guitar and amp. I got this on sale at Guitar Center and its worth every penny!
Features
Gain, Level, Bass, Mid and Treble...what more do you need for a warm-up or recording amp? With the RCA jacks for tape in and out plus a headphone jack its has got some great features with a lot of different use possibilities.
Quality
Its German engineering and Chinese production...88% of everything you buy now is made in China. I can find not faults with the workmanship or materials. For the price you really can't do much better.
Value
You really have to search long and hard to find a better deal on a 15 watt RMS amplifier with these features!
Manufacturer Support
The only problem is that the company is located in Germany...but e-mails were answered and promptly and service is above average.
The Wow Factor
The "Vintage" look is a real eye catcher, and the sound just pulls the rest of you in...you'll want this amp!
