Late 2006 model, Versatile amp, but not a lot of different tones. Pre-out, headphone jack, Aux in, functions as a DI box. 75 watts into a 10" speaker

Sound Quality : 10
I play mostly alt-country, blues and rock, Play a Jazz, a Traben Fretless and a Tobias. I bought this amp as a practice/studio amp, it is extremely quiet, in fact noisless from the D/I output. I took it to a small Party Gig, it blew everyone ( including some pros ) away. Not a lot of variety in the amp/cab simulation, but as a Preamp/DI it sounds very warm and bigger than it actually is. The Grind and Synth settings are interesing. Plenty of sound for a practice session.

Reliability : 10
Only owned for a month, built like a tank. Ignore reviews that say it is light and cheaply made, the quality is outstanding.

Customer Support : No Opinion
N/A The manual is well written and in clear plain english.

Overall Rating : 10
I would definately replace this if it were bogarted, I looked long and hard at a lot of under $300 amps and this one hands down as I didn't want/need the most volume and size for the buck, I have a Hartke stack for Gigs.

Combo was made in late 2006. Lost of features (4-5 different models) It's real small & light, and inexpensive. Knobs feel cheap.

Sound Quality : No Opinion
I wasn't impressed by all the models. They all sounded too similiar to one another with the exception og the Grind model. There was no WOW to the overall sound. I thought the amp had a lot of hum, was too quiet below 6, and the hum was too loud above 6. I use the amp on several different grounded outlets & different cables.

Reliability : No Opinion
I don't know, I returned it after owning it for a week.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never called them.

Overall Rating : 4
I was very disappointed in this amp. I was looking for a good, small portable bass combo and thought this fit the bill. I was surpised about the loud hum / static I heard every time I played it. It felt cheap. If there was less hum / noise & the volume was more consistent, I probably would have kept it.

Amazing Rock Tone! Speaker emulated xlr balanced output, and handy preamp output, headphone output and line input
You can't get better for the money. This is perfect for studio use and most live situations with the help of a pa system. This amp will save your back, as long as you have access to a good pa for stage use.

Sound Quality : 10
Has that certain hard to describe airy low psychoacoustic sound you get from an Ampeg tube head and classic 810 cab. I auditioned several guitars and played the Ampeg 810 with the Ampeg SVT Pro 3 tube head, and this amp has that special sound. None of the other amps had it including the many combo ampegs as well as all the Hartke and Crate stuff I tried.

Reliability : No Opinion
I wish I knew how reliable this is. It certainly seems well made. If it's reliable you will be seeing more and more players using these.

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 10
I've tried so many bass amps and really worked hard to see what each can do, and this thing just has the sound right out of the box. I wouldn't be in a hurry to change the rock preset as it sounds perfect right out of the box. Line 6 hit a Grand Slam with this one.
