MusicRadar rating
Pros
Ease of operation. Ampeg sound quality. Raw power.
Cons
Switches seemed flimsy.
Verdict
Highly effective and practical too, it’s a really good all-rounder, with volume to spare and offering a high threshold of good clean powerful sound, essentially what we’ve come to expect from Ampeg.
