Aria AG-35R

I got donated this amp by a guy at mu Chruch in '04 and it was fairly old then. That said, I also have a big Fender amp, and I must confess that the Aria out does it one every level apart from the volume.

The flexibility of the amp is its biggest advantage. Having control over the Treb, Mid, and Bass really gives you overall control with your tone. I have found the Amp perfect for anything from Aerosmith to Metallica to Bon Jovi, it really does the rounds.

The Overdrive offers enough flexibility but is somewhat limited. However, the reverb is really the high point of the thing.

I play a Gibson LP Standard through a Boss ME-50 into the amp and it really is the proverbial dog's bollocks.

Got it (at least) second hand. Has been gigged and abused quite alot.

The only problem I had with it was a couple of months ago (about March '08) the jack socket was a bit temprmental but after tightening a couple of screws it worked perfectly

Brilliant Amp for the price (even better for free!)

Only issue is due to the Spring reverb if you move it or knock it the amp makes a horrible noise. Small enough to Gig happily but loud enough for large(ish) venues, particualrly if rigged to a PA.

I bought this amp in 2002, and it seemed like being about 6-7 years old.
The three-range equaliser, overdrive and reverb produce a convincing rock tone. I use this amp for band practice and playing small venues, and 30 watts seems enough for me, and things like the footswitch channel and the headphones jack make the amp easy to use and quite versatile.

I play Sabbath-esque rock, and I use an Epiphone G-310 with a Gibson Tony Iommi Signature pickup in the bridge, and the overdrive and the reverb give a good approximation of Tony Iommi's tone. The amp isn't particularly noisy, and the overdrive sounds quite poweful with gain all the way up.

Seems invulnerable. It has been kicked around for more than two years now and still plays well.

I don't know what year the amp was made in but I guess it's about 6 to 8 years old. It has gain, shape, level for the distortion channel, a channel select button, level for the clean channel, treble, middle, bass, reverb. The Interface is one input jack, cd-in mini jack, line-out mini jack, footswitch for channel select and for reverb, and an external speaker jack. It's all pretty complete, the reverb footswitch comes in handy sometimes. It's only a 30 Watt combo, but enough for practice...

I like the overdrive it's pretty brutal altough it's a little noisy when you're not playing, the clean channel is also pretty good, a little thin toned but clean all the way. Reverb is okay, could be better but okay. The variety of sounds is not that great. But great enough for playing all sorts of music. I play mostly popular rock, like 3 doors down for instance. It's okay for this style. But Metallica, Iron Maiden and Guano Apes also sound nice. It's an allround practice amplifier. The guitar I play is an squier - bullet... an okay guitar (for the money I payed for it)...

It's a great amp for someone who is starting with playing guitar, or for practice with a band... I guess i would buy another one if it were stolen. If I can get one... I'm satisfied with it for now...

This amp is 6-7 years old but Aria still produces it as its main guitar amplifier.
It has equalization (MID TREBLE BASS), VOL, MASTER, REVERB and OVERDRIVE. The interfaces are INPUT (one channel) LINE OUT, OVERDRIVE FOOTSWITCH, REVERB FOOTSWITCH and HEADPHONE.
Complete enough, even if only one channel

Very good sound especially with clean settings. Even the overdrive has decent tone but not for heavy metal indeed. Pretty good for bluesy sound.
Plenty of reverb.
I also own Feder amps, solid state and tube.

Quite solid amp, compact size, lightweight.

Never need

Overall this is a good amp for the price (new about 200 $)
