Hey, i have one of these, (I think im the only one here who does)

And they're really good, you can get a great stereo sound but you do understand that its a slave amp, not a regular amp?

Pros:
1) Stereo sound
2) Doesent suck tone
3) Looks amazing sat under your main amp
4) AMAZING stereo chorus (One of the best ive heard)
5) Great delay
6) Great leslie simulator

However they have a few flaws:
1)theres alot of buzz created, but any decent noise canceling unit will get rid of it.
2) You cant alter the perimeters of the effects
3) The reverbs can be a little lame
4)You can turn the effects off but the problem is the bypass turns off the whole unit, rather than just the effects.
5) Its almost impossible to get a foot-switch for one


I bought mine for £150, and that seems to me the standard price really.

In the end, its good if you want stereo sound and cant afford to buy another amp and some stereo effects processors.

Fender were onto something with this one, if only they refined it a little, i think it would do alot better.

Hmm, interseting. I've never heard of one of those amps. I'll have to do some googling. :)
