Published on 03/12/04 at 15:00I don't own this amp, but I would kill a man to get one. We were playing at a jazz competetion when our guitar player plugged in and started showing off. He sucks, but his amp is a really good Line 6 model. Another guitar player came over and started playing his Fender amp.
I had never really been a contact with a tube amp. I knew they were good, but WOW! It almost sounded like the Line 6 was dead and the Fender was dancing. Tubes kick ass! I don't think the amp has good distortion for heavy rock, but for a clean channel solo that cuts through the mix, I've never heard it done so well.
I probably wouldn't buy one of these because I play some modern rock with higher gain than the Fender puts out, but I still have to give this amp credit. I'm planning to pick up a Behringer Vintager AC112. It has a tube and auxillary with some distortion controls. It should give me more of what I need. In a perfect world, I would love to play a high gain Marshall or Mesa Boogie for heavy chords, yet occaisonally switch over to a sweet singing amp like the Fender for solos, but I'll probably just keep dreaming.
Not really sure. Don't own it.
Although the kid playing it wasn't anything to right to Ripley about, the amp was definitely pretty sweet. It sells for like 500 bucks, which is more than I want to spend. But nevertheless, this amp is one of the best sounding things I've ever heard. (I've played and listened to Crates, Marshalls, Line 6's, and other top notch names.)
