"Tone Pro"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Playing 30 years, Mesa, Fender and Marshall and this amp is the best combination of all those tones I have ever found. Sold my DSL and Fender Deluxe and never looked back.
Sound
Very full and musical clean channel with a great overdrive that has bite at any gain stage. Much better than the TSL I tried that sounded compressed and weighs a ton. All Tube amps with separate tone stacks have a slight delay when channel switching and lighting the extra tube in the gain side. Shows how many amps the other reviewer has played in his time. This amp has tone and is a very loud 50 watts, all you ever need.
Features
Has everything you could ever want in one package. The Celestion speaker it comes with is a bit on the bright side. This amp just kills with the Neo Vintage from Celestion that I have in mine now. Very warm and crunchy when pushed hard.
Ease of Use
All very well laid out.
Quality
Made in the USA with quality parts from the Ampeg plant. Lots of Pro's have this amp on tour.
Value
Nothing can touch this at the price for tube tone and features.
Manufacturer Support
Heard good things from others.

"The total Package made by Americans"
If it was stolen I would pay a premimum price to get the American mad version.
Sound
Blows the Fender Hot Rod and Super Champ I had away not only in sound but also in quality.
Features
Has everything I need for Blues, hard rock and alternative. I so wish it had an effects loop.
Ease of Use
Like all the wording on the dials are too small. After using the amp for a period of time you learn where and what to dial.
Quality
Work horse. Two years and no problems
Value
Bought it used for the same price as my Fender Super Champ.
Musical Background:
4 years, Jam with friends that are professional musicians
Musical Style:
Blues, hard rock and alternative.
