I would definitely buy this amp again if stolen or lost. It fits my uses very well. It is great for a stage monitor and it can hold its own by itself. The quality is extraordinary even being made in Mexico. The only thing I would like to see is a ground lift on it. My favorite feature is the mute button so that I can tune on stage without having to have an $85 Boss tuning pedal.
Model Year: 2003
Price: $400.00 (new)
Where Obtained: The Music Loft
Features:
Active/Passive Input Switch, Switchable Limiter Circuit, Semi-Parametric Mid-Frequency EQ, Balanced XLR Line Out Jack for Recording or PA Feed, Mute Switch, Tuner Output, Effects Loop, Enhance Switch for Mid-Frequency Contouring, External Speaker Jack, Tilt Back Cabinet Design Front Panel: Active/Passive Switch, Volume, Pre-Amp Clip LED, Enhance Switch, Bass Level, Mid Level, Mid Frequency, Treble Level, Mute Switch, Mute LED, Power-Amp Clip LED, Limiter Switch, Rear Panel: External Speaker Jack (8 ohm Minimum), Line Out Level, Effects Loop Solid State electronics I use this amp for on stage monitoring and feeding the house PA via XLR. It is pleanty loud for what I am using it for at church. It could use a ground lift feature like the 100W model has.
Sound Quality:
I am currently playing a cheap Music Yo Steinberger through a Boss Bass EQ and Boss CEB chorus pedal. It actually makes this bass sound pretty good considering how cheap the bass is. I play mostly chrisitan contemporary. I haven't found any issues with any music style. I'm still a beginning player so I haven't sampled a lot of other amps, but it is definitely the best amp for my price range, portable, and very usable for traveling gigs. Everything is extremely quiet as long as I don't have it grounded in certain outlets, but clean power is an issue everywhere you go. A ground lift would be a nice option. Over all it is a very versatile and nice sounding amp.
Ease of Use:
Very simple setup and use. It sounds great in most settings. Pretty straight forward.
Durability:
Built solid! This amp is rock solid and can take a serious beating. With a great 5 year warranty you can't go wrong.

Kind:..Solid State Wattage:..60 watts at 8 Ohms Effects loop?..yes Knobs:..Volume , Bass , Mid , Mid Freq. , Treble Buttons:..Enhance, Mute , Limiter, passive/active
Sound Quality:
I use this amp with my ESP b-204 and sometimes through a Boss ODB-3 Overdrive pedal. This amp sounds great; you can get alot of different tones out of it, but at high volumes theres a good amount of distortion. For an amp this size however, I guess its to be expected. The limiter helps clean uthe excess dist. a bit when its switched on but not much. The enhance button modifies the mids and makes the overall tone deeper. Mute is self explanitory.
Ease of Use:
About as easy as it gets.
Durability:
This things built solid.

Money well spent.
Model Year: 2001
Price: $300.00 (new)
Where Obtained: Sam Ash Music
Features:
Simplistic, straightforward design. One of my favorite features is the XLR out. Running into the house board at larger gigs makes this amp sound much more powerful than the 60 watts it puts out. Plus, with the tilt-back cabinet design, I can use it as a monitor on stage.
Sound Quality:
So far, I've gotten every sound out of this amp that I've been looking for and I'm just beginning to scratch the surface.
Ease of Use:
It's so easy to get a good sound out of this amp, even my drummer can do it. :o) Serisously, it is a very simple layout, so you can plug in and get a sound you are happy with almost immeidately.

This is a great little practice amp and can be used at small gigs. Would be good for a jam because it's small enough to carry around.

Where Obtained: Zenith music
Features:
Has a volume, bass, treble, mid freq and mid level knobs. Has a muting switch for tuning also a limiter and an enhance and a passive and active switch. It has an effect send and return input.
Sound Quality:
The sound quality is really diverse it allows different settings for slapping finger picking and normal picking. This is attainable through use of the enhance and passive and active button. This amp has a great deep tone.
Ease of Use:
This amp is easy to set up because of it's limited controls. So it's easy to get a good sound without fiddling too much with it
Durability:
It is very sturdy and has no valves so maintenance won't take much. The amp can also rock back on an angle.
