"Small Versatile & Mighty"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I had used Sunn amps for over 30 years. Making this change was a significant event for me. Took me months to make the choice. I doubt I will ever need anything else (except a roadie when I get really old)
Sound
The sound and quality are great. With the controls being so vesatile you can get most any sound you want. I used the rack mount space for a processor. I also added a SWR 15B cabinet for larger venues for a bit more low belly. If you need more than that you can use the XLR out to a sound board.
Features
The compressor and graphic equalizer are what I use most. It would help to have an auxilary power outlet or 2. If you rack mount an accesory, you have to plug it in separately.
Quality
I have been using this amp for over a year averaging about 12-20 hours per week performing. Has never skipped a beat.
Value
This product is reasonably priced. Especially with the versatility it offers, coupled with the power it has.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to call them. I added a Fostex DE-10 processor to help with a bit of echo in small rooms for fill.
The Wow Factor
It was a practical addition after trying out about 5 other brands. Size, versaitility, power. The color black blends in the background. Don't need chrome grills, they clutter up the set.
