"Less here than meets the eye....."

Feature:
The foot pedal was fine for me.

Quality:
The handles broke on me right away but MS replaced them with metal ones quickly. When I looked inside this thing I was suprised to see very thin cheapish speaker wires etc. When I looked for the power amp I was blown away. There is really amp type module but instead, a bunch of amp components spread around the perimeter of the top compartment. I have a hard time believing it really has anything close to 200 watts with another 40 watts going to the tweeter. Speaking of tweeter, mine never blew and I cranked this thing. The knobs fell off a lot so I had to order replacements for the ones that fell off and got lost before I sold it.

Value:
Overpriced and shallow sounding.

Desirability:
Looks great and sexy, sounds mediocre at best.

Sound:
I can't believe this thing is so popular as my experience was mucho different. The rotary sound got very washed out at higher volumes, no, not so loud they were distorted all to hell either. It just lost the Leslie effect when played loud. The non-rotary channel sounded very mid range with not much depth or bottom no matter how much I cranked the bass eq. I used it regularly on gigs for a year and finally sold it at quite a loss and was very dissapointed. Their customer support people were great to deal wit but this amp just really missed the boat for me.

Support:
These people were great and responsive.

Overall:
It looked great, had great features, sounded cheap and thin.
