This small amp is WAY cool. Loud for 60 solid state watts (but voiced to sound like tubes) it alternately screams or whispers depending on your demands. I would recommend this amp for a variety of styles.
It has a built in Reverb and Chorus with a seperate gain control for them. Effects loop. Auxiliary out, low Z. It is a two channel amp with a clean that is crystal clear and overdrive. With the overdrive activated this 30 pound amp turns into an 800 pound gorilla!! My rehersal partners, one with a 100W Marshall head on 2 12's and the other with a Spider II feeding a Fender DeVille with 4 10's look at my tiny wonder and can't imagine how I'm drowning them out (OK, I'll turn it down!). This thing is Godzilla in a shoe box, I swear.
I feed this little deamon from one side of my stereo Zoom pedal and then use either an SM57 to mike it or run a line out from the auxiliary out direct to the mixer. The other side of the Zoom feeds my Crate Vintage 30 class A tube amp which is miked with an SM57, and between these two amps, no tone is unachievable.
Originally made by Aslin Dane, Cordel Enterprises is taking up the manufacturing....and one can only hope they will continue producing this killer amp.

I play an Epi Custom LP with humbuckers, A '62 Harmony Stratotone with 2 single coils and an Eric Clapton signature Strat with low noise single coils. This amp kicks ass with any of these guitars.
I play everything from rock to country.
The amp is clean clean clean and can go from funk to fusion, R&B to punk, Mahler to mayhem. The distortion with the amp cranked would make Genghis Khan wilt:))

I've played for 40 yrs and if this amp was stolen I'd look to replace it immediately.

The AG-60RC features 4 bands of EQ ( Treble, Midrange , Bass and Presence control). 2 stages of gain allow for super saturation and overdrive. Channel switching, Effects loop and Reverb for that great depth and richness. Great for working it out at home or in the studio. A head phone jack is also on the front panel. Big bang for the buck. 30 lbs with a stock 12" 80W Celestion Speaker, Solid State -voiced like tube distortion in tonal characteristic. Also has an Aux-in channel -10db with a separate volume control - nice addition; Footswitch (latching type) jack and ext. speaker jack. Spring reverb is also better than Crate's I have owned.

Strat's, LP's sound great through this amp. Suitable for small clubs and venues (60 watts remember). Great for most all styles of music. Unless your looking for a 120 watts tube stack this amp is perfect in comparison to Fender, Crate, Peavey, Carvin, etc. of the same class.
The amp is relatively quiet. Lots of variety the chorus is the weakest
effect but is acceptable. It has a little noise and edge when cranked up but it is actually usable and not brittle. It is not bad. The distortion has a nice sing to it and when the presence is up it give a slight feedback octave feel. Great for Carlos Santana stuff.

I have had some trouble with the amp cutting out and the quality of construction is a liitle 'iffy' some of the tailoring is not clean and straight. I have owned fender's and crate's and peavey's and roland's and they seem better made. But the vinyl and cabinet are sound it's just that the electronics and panels is a little sub-standard - certainly room for improvement. Made in Korea. If I could give it a 5.5 that would be closer to my estimate. The overall looks make up for the 'iffy' workmanship. Most of the internal electronics looks ok as far as soldering although there maybe a loose / cold joint in there.

I bought this new from eBay because of the looks and I haven't really need there help but, I need to find out why it is cutting out maybe a loose / cold solder joint. I wouldn't pay more than 200 - 250 for this amp until they get the issues fixed. I don't know what the warranty is go to www.aslindane.com for more info.

I have been playing many years pro and semi. I would buy it again because it looks and sounds great. If thy get the reliabilty issues fixed and some of the fit and trim addressed they have a super nice product here. I give this an 8.5. I wish this compnay great success it is good to see something besides black and with a little class. Check out the other products they have other things especially the full contact tremolo. That is an innovative procduct

This is a recent model, I'd say around 2001 or so. It has high and low input, with two channels, clean and distorted. It also has a spring reverb, chorus, an auxiliary microphone input with separate volume control, a D.I. output (to P.A.?) and a headphone output jack. The channels are foot switchable (no switch was included) and the amp has an effects loop and external 8 ohm speaker ouput.
I play for personal enjoyment, and in our church guitar choir. I have found this amp very easy to transport, and more that suitable for what I use it for. I have an effects pedal that I plug into the amp and just whail away. I have been very happy with it for the year I have used it. Both my son and I use it almost daily and it has never failed to perform.

I play a Godin Multiac SA through it, as well as a Washburn WI64 DL and Squire Strat. All sorts of pickups, effects, etc. So far it has performed very well with little noise. My Godin has a tendancy to feedback at the higher volumes, but I would expect that from an nylon acoustic.
The chorus, reverb, and distortion are all very nice. Nothing overwhelming, but then again, enough to recognize you are applying effects to your sound. I think I like it best with just a hint of gain, about half reverb, and three quarters chorus. Matching the presence of the chorus and reverb to the distortion and then just play away.
It is certainly lound enough for my basement and church. I think if I was to gig out, I would definitely need more power or P.A. It would probably do alright for clubbing.
The aux in has performed well for me, but it just doesn't seem to have the power I think you would need for a microphone if you were going to gig. For my basement its fine.

So far so gig (knock on wood). I want to get another just like this for stereo pedal effects. Again, the aux input seems somewhat under powered for what the guitar amp portion can produce.

They've been good at answering e-mails so far. I haven;t needed any real help. I wanted to get a matching auxiliary speaker cabinet (they don't make one now) and I was told they would consider making a custom. I didn't ask what that would cost me.

I've been playing on and off for about 35 years. I love the looks of the amp, and have been very happy with it to date. Not only would I buy another if I lost this one, I AM considering buying another to plug in with my stereo pedal.
I don't know if I could ever rate anything a perfect 10, so this is probably as close as I could get. The only thing I would like to see is a little more power on the aux input, and matching external speaker cabinets. With the cool green and gold coloring, I'll never get anything to match it.
