Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this amp in 2005 to use in church as my monitor and DI for an acoustic electric guitar. I was totally happy with the natural acoustic sound, and the amp had more than enough power to fill the church on the few occasions where the main PA failed.
My criticisms may be minor to some, and admit that I am very picky:
1) I really wish that the line level XLR outputs had a switchable pad to allow for connection to a microphone level input. As it stands I need to use a XLR attenuator or direct box to tame the signal by -20 db. It works fine but it is another piece of gear I have to remember to bring along.
2) I would have also liked a sturdier kickstand clip -- the stock nylon clip is reminiscent of an old zip tie, and it broke one winter's day -- not at all consistent with the rest of the package.
3) I like the shoulder bag but the strap gets cinched at it's attachment point on the bag. Also, the strap cannot be shortened maximally, and there is no top handle on the bag, which means it has to stay on your shoulder or you need to use two hands to carry the bag.
Ultimately I decided it was easier to carry the unit by the handle and only use the bag to protect it in my vehicle. Nevertheless, the true test of this unit is that I have continued to use it for the past 4 years, even after experimenting with all sorts of direct box combinations including a Roland AD-8, Roland CM-30 monitor, Behringer GI-100, UltraSound PDI, Demeter Tube Direct, and BBE DI-1000 direct boxes. I still use this amp with a Guild Peregrine, a Whirlwind -20 db XLR pad, a Korg CA-30 tuner, and a FS-5L switch to control muting.
