This thing is a bass combo with a 15" speaker and a tweeter,
2 inputs for active and passive, effect loop, line and headphone out,
Controls for gain (clipping warning led), bass, parametric mid, treble, master. Power: 100 Wat @ 8 Ohm
Size: 480mm (H)x340mm(W)x580mm(D) Weight: 35 kg
What I personally miss is a switch to turn off the tweeter and additional grips an the sides to carry it with two persons.
Sound Quality
:
No Opinion
I am playing bass for 15 years now and only played full tube amps before. I was surprised that this thing doesn't sound as transistor-like as I feared. With gain full up it gives you an almost tube-like sound with smooth clipping. With low gain it has a nice clean sound. The EQ works fine and gives you a variety of sounds.
No hum; but with treble not set to zero some hiss (for practising in the bedroom).
This combo is not intended as practise amp like I use it. So I won't rate the sound as I never played it on stage up to now.

No problems until now but I used it mainly at home for practising.

If it was stolen it would not buy it again. Its cons are obvious: size and weight. I like my intervertebral disks more than heavy combos.
