Sound 4/5

For the metal head to the jazz gentleman. In any scenario I have always felt this amp can create the right tone and mood. My only complaint is that it is sometimes hard to fine tune but that is because I don't change my tubes when I am suppose to ;)

Quality 4/5

Over the years I have had a couple issues. If I turn my presence past 8 on the Lead Channel I get an uncomfortable high pitch with some muffle noises, it is unnoticeable until one realizes it. The input jack need to be re-soldered. Nothing major though.

This is a tough amp. It has seen many many many gigs with the previous owner and me. Never changed a tube until recordings and it sounded great. It never had a flight case either.

Usefulness 5/5

This is a great amp for some one who wants to explore sounds with out spending an arm and a leg. I see these used a lot.

Value 5/5

This baby has been worth every penny. I know I could sell it for the same price but I don't think we will ever part.
