Features

100W, 2*12" speakers, 2 channels with each 2 inputs (high, low) Reverb, pre-amp in, signal out, builed somewhere end '70 - begin '80. I use(d) this amp on stage and for practicing. The basic of what an amp has to do is good: it produces a lot of volume.
Sound Quality
:
4
I use(d) the amp with a Peavey Falcon. The clean sound is really good with a very warm sound. The distortion on the amp is lousy, if you ever get anything that is worth calling distorion. An effect-box is really necessary, but even then the results aren't really good (I use(d) a Boss HM-2). Since I play in a Metal Band, the sound of this amp isn't what I was looking for.
Reliability
:
9
Only once the amp broke down: a blown-out fuse. Replaced it and never had any trouble again. The combo has wheels and I used to drive around on it, the amp when down some stairs the fast way, it has beer spoiled over it, but there is still coming sound out of the amp

Don't know, I never had to use it.
