Interesting... I've never seen one of these before. I know they've got a newer line of amps out now but never heard of or seen one of these. Anyone know anything about them?

I played a head & cab once... guitar shopping with a friend many years ago, we plugged in and it sucked. "Used very little"... because it sucks! IIRC the cab was redeeming, but its pretty hard to screw up a 4x12 cab at that level.

I heard about those, and that they are terrible.

I can't remember much anything specific about the sound... just a generic solid-state amp. Better then a Crate... probably like a solid state Fender.

It was supposed to emulate tubes and sound/feel like a tube amp... IIRC they almost put PRS out of business.

On the positive side, it DID look cool all lit up.

But we were like "This is it??? This is terrible!" and moved onto something else.

I do remember it was at the old Outlaw Guitars on Rt 22 in NJ... now sadly gone.

Ayyeeeee... so that's probably why I haven't seen one before.

i didnt believe the hate on these so i went and played one for myself .. yes, they are not tube amps ... but they are very very good solid state amps - ... imo, they have excellent cleans (just a nudge less than the jc-120) and also have an interesting warmth ... for their time (when the western world thought we had seen the last glowing glass) they were not at all a bad specimen ... imo, they also take pedals very well ... i say decide with your ears, not the internet

Those are amazing boat anchors and killer door stops and if you have to have an amp to use in a photo shoot in the rain they can't be beat past that I wouldn't piss on one if it was on fire and even if that price was $85 it's be too much!

Yep, even as I PRS-guy, I wouldn't buy one.

I do know a couple of cats who have them though. Sheer collector's sake though.
