"A little amp with GIANT attitude!"
Verified Purchaser

Sound
The ability to dial in any type of tone is amazing. You can go from old Ampeg tuble-like growl to slap and poppy Jazz tones instantly. For a smaller combo, it has a lot of bite and attitude.
Features
It gives you a lot of control options, including an "enhance" button that actually adjusts the EQ within your current settings.
Ease of Use
easy to find what you are looking for but hard to stop playing around with it. it is almost too flexible.
Quality
Seems well made and haven't had a problem yet. But I've only had it a few weeks. I let you know if it breaks down overtime.
Value
Only a few pennies more for a lot more amp!
Manufacturer Support
Not sure, but their website says they are committed and still make parts for out-of-production units.
The Wow Factor
Looks cool but with a "quality" and professional overall look.

"Good amp, decent value, versatile"
Verified Customer

Nice small size. Has an external speaker output to plug in another cab.
I would replace it only to get more power and probably would keep it as a practice amp, now that I think about it. It functions well for now. I would probably not replace it if stolen, but only because I would want something bigger at this point. Probably buy a bigger Eden or perhaps a tube head. I do plan to keep the Nemesis 2x10 cab I bought.
Sound
Sounds good at moderate to nearly high volumes... get it really loud and it starts breaking up... punchy, with clarity and great clean tone...
The tweeter is loud... get the amp up past three or four and the hiss very noticeable. I opened it up and unplugged it.
But it is a good sounding amp, no doubt.
Features
This functions great as a practice/garage amp. The CD inputs and aux inputs are handy. I love the speaker off switch, which helps if switching guitars or plugging in effects. Has built in compressor.
Ease of Use
Fairly easy to use. The manual is almost non-existent. It covers every similar product and doesn't go into any meaningful detail about settings, especially for a beginner.
Quality
Well, the first thing that went wrong was a rattle/buzz in the cabinet... something was loose. Hitting an E, low or high, would make it buzz. Took it completely apart and tightened every screw on it and it finally stopped. I thought it might be just mine, but a friend bought the 1x12 version and had the same problem.
Value
It seems a little high, but not excessively so.
Manufacturer Support
Didn't attempt to use customer service, didn't want the hassle.
The Wow Factor
Well, it's sort of an Eden, so that's cool. It looks good, classic look and professional looking.

"Nice Rich Tone"
I use it on an amp stand facing me like a monitor. With tweaking I was able to dial up as much bass as the 12" version. These 2 8" speakers sound amazing for their size.
Sound
Very nice sound. Not "in your face" tone, a little "farther away" tone. It took a little time to get used to the tone controls, to dial in the sound I wanted, but I was finally able to get a nice deep and rich tone.
Features
Great features, signal led, tone shaping control, compressor, aux in, 2 channels, effects loop, direct out, headphones and internal and external speaker jacks. Plenty of power to push the speakers. (120watts)
Quality
I have many bass player friends who own Eden amps, and I have never heard of a problem.
Value
I believe it is one of the top contenders in this size and price range.
Manufacturer Support
I have heard good things, though i have not needed the support myself.
The Wow Factor
"I Bought It"...... I compared the 10", 12" and 2x8" models. My opinion is that the 10" is little underpowered (80 watts) for stage use, the 12" and 2x8" were very close in performance, but they had different tones and are a matter of personal preference. It was a hard choice between the 12" and 2x8"
