seabirch Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi Has anyone used one of these? I'm thinking of either getting one of these (been offered one at shop for £219) or maybe an Ashdown Electric Blue. Not sure which to get for a general purpose amp.

Cat Burrito Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I own one as a back up rig (my can't be bothered to lug a head and cab set up). I like it. It's solid state so not classic ampeg tube heaven but it has portability, ease of use and is loud enough for medium sized venues (any bigger and face it the soundman will DI you anyway). I find it easy to get a good tone and it has a lot of variation. The Ashdown rig is probably more popular but I tend to favour Ampeg gear personally. As a negative the tilt back is quite sensitive so it can be tilting back more than you'd want (fixed simply by putting in front of a wall or drum riser). My cats have accidentally tested the tilt a couple of times with amusing results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I've tried one (I think......the one with 5 'styles' on a rotary control)!? Sounds great Not very loud at all IMO Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
