This head is simply the BEST deal in terms of wattage for money. 450 watts in this puppy really puts it out. As a teenager, I was looking for something cheap and high output, and then I found this thing. The controls let you configure your sound how ever you want, and fool around with some cool effects. The ultra bass effect has somewhat of a octave trick with can be awesome in the upper register. The shape function messes with the mid range contour to create a "wet" sound and I absolutely love it. I could go on and on about the attributes Some things to note: as with many solid states, once you are past the half way point on the volume clippage comes into effect. This amp does do that how ever you can adjust that on the Gain adjustment, and the active input if need to. I have played a Venue with 1000+ people with my fullstack and this head, and my friend said that way in the back the bass could be heard, and felt thoroughly. I bought the head as soon as it came out, so I probably know all there is to know about this thing. EQUIPMENT NOTE: The BOSS Bass Limiter pedal works wonders, especially making more of a brighter tone and keeping the clippage down. I would suggest a high wattage RMS cab(s). I personally have two handmade cabs I built myself (one 4X10 and 1X15) and those seem to be fine. The head really stands out with a fullstack, and use Monster cable speaker cables for optimum performance. These are just some observations for your support, and if your thinking about buying this beauty, do it, you won't regret it. Aloha and rock on.

i got this yesterday, the thing was great, put out monter sound. was truly happy with it, could mould my sound in everyway. except when i took it to practise the same night,i noticed that the nut on the passive input was rattling off, only to find when i tightened it back up i simply fell out if the head , so i pulled out my cord from the active input and the nut on the input of the head pulled off with it. on closer inspection the passive and active inputs are both black plastic and had snapped. every other input on the head is metal inside and out, and they made the two most used input's plastic? and sure enough they broke, with this the only problem, its great. this flaw needs to fixed and taken into account before purchasing.
