Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
If this amp were to be stolen or lost, I would have to get a new one immediately due to the impact on my overall acoustic guitar tone and due to the fact that it is an essential part of my guitar rig.

Sound
I use this amp in a variety of live applications and it has not let me down. The sound is very good. The anti-feedback switch and phase controls work great to control feedback. I love the choice of three direct outs - one for each channel and one mixed post eq. I use this amp for small shows and practices on its own and use it as a monitor and XLR direct out when playing through the PA. - I connect my Gibson J-45 to channel one and use channel 2 for a vocal mic. i replaced my direct box and monitors and feel like I have more control over my sound. I do have to cut the mids and treble, but that is what eq controls are for.

Features
As mentioned above, I love the three XLR direct outs, phase switch, feed back control, tilt back cabinet, mute switch and the 1/4 inch aux input (use with my ipod for set breaks. Overall there are amps with more features, but all that are on this amp get used!

Ease of Use
Very easy amp to use. The instruction manual includes nice suggestions for eq settings at different volume levels.

Quality
I have put this amp through the ringer during live shows, practices and transport. Every thing still works great.

Value read more
I thought that it was a little pricey, but after all of the use this amp gets, I feel it is well worth the investment.
