"Great for the price but not true eden quality"

Bought this because I wanted a small practice amp very familiar with the brand name so I was excited to see that there was a practice amp Eden made that was affordable. I had to send the first one back because it had a lot of buzzing and over modulation and even low volumes. I thought it was the amp I bought. I had a new one sent out and have the same issue so it’s just a poor quality issue with the speaker I’m assuming. Doesn’t sound that bad if you keep the volume and the tones low but is soon as you bring it up past 50% it gets very raunchy sounding but not in a good way definitely not something I would expect An eden product to do. So I’ll say for the price it’s great, But you’d probably be better off with a fender rumble or a Hartke. But bottom line you can’t beat a 50 W amp for 100 bucks.

"Not Just For Bass"

I bought this amp because I was looking for an inexpensive amp for my Electro-Harmonic B9 Organ Pedal.The B9 pedal is capable of some awesome low frequency sounds and I didn't want to damage my guitar amps.For the price you won't find a better bargain than this amp; 50 watts with an 8" speaker. (Especially since the price has recently been reduced.)I tested the amp with a guitar, and with the organ pedal. I was impressed by its tone, especially with the organ pedal.The tone was full and rich. It has your standard three band EQ controls; bass, mid & treble and they have a lot of impact on the overall sound.For a guitar I used an Epiphone Les Paul Custom with "Seymour Duncan Hot Rods" and a Boss Power Stack pedal.The amp responded nicely. It was hard to believe the amp only has an 8" speaker. Cranking the bass tone control in conjuction with the Power Stack gave me a massive tone. The mid range was also quite full, and really had some punch to it.I've seen some reviews that said this amp doesn't have a great bottom end. I have a Fender Rumble 25 and this amp doesn't quite have the "thump" of the Fender.If that's the case then I would think this would be a fine amp for a baritone guitar because of the great mid range response.The amp appears well made. It has an odd fabric covering instead of Tolex. It's more like indoor/outdoor carpet.It has a pre-gain and master volume but I don't know why. Cranking the pre-gain didn't provide the usual distorted crunch that you usually get when you do this on other amps.In conclusion, I used this amp with a guitar so this review must be judged in that light.

"Eden EC10, a fair amp with poor pre-amp section and cabinet."
My experience with Eden EC10 is quite disappointing.Let's start with the Pro's: the size and weight are good for its power and also its slight wedge shaped front helps delivering the brightness in tone for which eden is known. Now the Con's:This thing farts out as soon as you try to play anything that's not quiet, bassless practice.The input has an integrated input compressor which triggers as soon as the gain is past 50% or less with a passive Jazz Bass, and when it does, the output is distorted with added distortion, hiss and pops.The equalizer section of the pre-amp introduces further gain and includes another compressor, which is triggered and distorts as soon as the bass tone is past noon, regardless the master volume. Said so, there is no way to fatten the tone, which is really lacking in the bottom end, without distorting the signal.Do not even try to play a 5 string bass on it, the B string will fart out at almost any reasonable volume.All these pre-amp issues could be solved using an external preamp or pedal to drive directly the Return input of the amplifier, loosing the equalizer.With this set-up the amp works as expected, with its 50W output.Being these electronic issues not just enough, the acustic design has an even more evident flaw: the bass reflex port is only 2 inches in diameter.Just turn up a bit the volume and the port starts generating a tremendous port noise: 2" port is definitely not enough for a 10" speaker.Any Simulation software will tell you that a 2" port will need too much air velocity to accomodate the air moved by the 10" speaker.Unfortunately this is not something you can overcome without a major cabinet modification.If you want to remedy its shortcomings, then you need to add a second port to the cabinet or increase the size of the actual one, reduce the gain of the internal third stage preamp to avoid triggering its compressor and finally increase the gain of the last audio power amplifier (which, moreover, is a cute and clever design) to compensate for the lower gain of the preamp.After these modifications the "new" Eden EC10 does justice to its 50W rating with plenty of power, reasonable low end and brilliant highs on a very tiny and lightweight cabinet.The real pity is that all in all these modifications are small adjustments that could have been done by Eden without affecting price much, if at all.Eden, are you there?
