Extremely versatile piece of equipment. I am a bass player (25 yrs.)
Playing all styles of music. I use the amp with a Fender Precision or a Kawai and also with upright(Fishman and David Gage Pickups)
I have had the amp for about four years after I repaired it and another one just like it (I do electronic repair). I have to admit that I was not very impressed with some the quality problems I found (due to manufacturing processes) inside the amp. After I corrected these I can honestly say this is the best amp I have ever owned.
Note, this is balancing out the factors of Price/ Tone/Weight/power
reliablity/Etc. Believe me I have tried most of them.
This amp is not a 160db monster,but it will get the same tone.
The amp is really intended to be a keyboard amp. It has 3 channels
(as versatile as a pa mixer) intended for elect. piano, synth, and
organ (has a built in electronic Leslie effect thats' not to bad.
It has a 15" speaker with two horns that can be adjusted.Also the
amp ha reverb. Size 20x20x12 about 40 lbs. 4 removeable (so you can tilt back)casters.,
14ft power cord wraps aroud its own holder. All controls recessed and
on top for ease of use.
This little combo amp is the most well thought out amp for the working
musician, regardless of instrument. It even makes a great P.A.
