Bought this about a year ago on Ebay for $100 and am still amazed by the quality. It's an 80's amp - 50-watt SOLID STATE - and can do some awesome sounds. It has 4-6" Transducers (Speakers) that emit a wall of sound. Sounds like a full stack. It has built-in LONG DELAY, SHORT DELAY, FLANGER and CHORUS and all are fully customizable through the effects customization knobs, etc. Sounds very much like a Jazz Chorus...
The crunch is definately 80's but when this baby is hooked to my Zoom Multi-effect pedal it just screams. Set it clean and loud - add the ME and VOILA' - iT RAWKS. The effects are good and the Chorus is PRISTINE ROLAND all the way. Single Channel. Line out for even more fun through your computer's DAW.

Sounds very much like a Jazz Chorus... The crunch settings are definately 80's, but when this baby is hooked to my Zoom Multi-effect pedal it just screams. Set it clean and loud - add your M.E. and VOILA' - iT RAWKS. The effects are good and the Chorus is PRISTINE ROLAND all the way. I have 5 amps - 2 are Vintage Tube amps but this is my favorite of them all. I love the cleans and when I wanna do some DEATH METAL this thing takes pedals oh so well. A SUPER CLEAN sounding Roland with loads of effects and with the Gain knob and Master Volume/Volume you can get some great classic Rock and Blues. Buy A Zoom , POD, Digitech, etc Multi-effects pedal - set this baby clean and hit the switch - IT RAWKS.

Had it for about a year - it's 25 years old - turn it on & it sounds fine. 25 years and still going strong.

My "GO-TO" amp when I'm practicing. My old Tubers are nice but this baby is loud as hell and sounds pristine and can do anything up to HARD-CORE DEATH METAL with pedals.
