"GREAT AMP-LOUD AS HELL"

Overall:

(see rating details)

i think il have it for 2 years at least (hopefully) i compare it as better than many products i saw... i almost bought a Hughes and Kettner Vortex 100 watt, but then they stopped making them, but i am satasfied with this amp. i like most the tone and blue backlight.

Sound

i love it, i can play over some drummers with it only turned up to 5, and with the combination of it, and my Digi Tech Metal Master distortion pedal, i get exactly the sound i want. with my Johnson starter (with EMG pickups) i get a sound EXACTLY like old Metallica (with my Metal Master). my tips to make it better would be to give it an echo switch too.

Features

it comes with a foot switch, but i dont use it, i use a separat distortion pedal

Quality

it is made well. i think the amp would be alright on the road, but as i said before, i dislike how the control panel is on the top of the amp, i prefere the front, so that i can sit on top of the amp. i think it will last me about 2 years, hopefully.

Value

i think it is worth the money

The Wow Factor

i think it is a very good looking amp, but there sould be a color selection switch for the control panel, allowing you to choose between colors such as red, white, yellow, blue, purple, green...i did not buy the amp because of its looks, i bought it because it has an excellent tone, and it can be loud with i need it to be.
