I've tried out the Lowdown 1x15 Bass Combo, the LD300 Pro. Used it Live and in the studio. Not a bad amp, clean DI out, fairly good EQ, so if that's anything to go by this head should be similar. I for one didn't like the inbuilt effects or the channel system. I'd prefer to spend that money on a nice Hartke or Ashdown head, but that's just my opinion. I've got plenty effects on my board.
