I bought this amp 1 month ago. I have been playing guitar longer than most of you have been alive, So speaking from experience here are my thoughts while playing a Fender Stratocaster with Custom Shop 54 pickups through it. POWER: Simply put more power than you will ever need. Perfect for any venue unless you are playing in a stadium then you made need to mic it. TONE: all three tone controls do their job just fine and in using them in conjunction with the very "MAGICAL PRESENCE KNOB" you can dial into just about any tone you will ever need from Bach to Rock and Over The Top Heavy Metal. GAIN & MASTER VOLUME: Master on 10 and gain on 4 is when mine starts to break up. However, If clean is what you want, It is easily taken care of by using a compression pedal with the volume up. This cleans it up a lot. REVERB: It has a hint of reverb at lower volumes and adjust to good old surf reverb sounds of the early 60's as you increase it. I prefer just a hint of any effects when using them and I rely mostly on the amps capabilities when I play. SPEAKER: 1x12" Eminence. This is more of a mid range speaker and lends to a more versatile tone shaping over all. CONSTRUCTION: Very Solid, Made of wood and this also adds to the mid range tone giving it a warm sound more pleasing to my ear, Yet again I say the PRESENCE KNOB works magic if you desire less of a mid range tone and more bass or treble. Also very light weight to carry even for this 60 year old man. DESIGN: BY Soldano, what can I say, Incredible design comes to mind, congratulations. NOISE: My amp does not make any extra noises until you turn both the gain and the master volume all the way up, At this point I get good old natural feed back. Over all the amp sounds just a bit mid range but again depending on what you use with it and that MAGICAL PRESENCE KNOB make this amp the best in it's class for power and sound with a lot of tone variety. PRICE: Considering others in its class for twice the money, I have to say this is as good as anything out there. I think it is an unbelievable bang for the buck. This amp is a great place to start for the tone fanatic and it is easy to build off of what it offers to create even more tones as you experiment with different effects, tubes, speakers etc. As for me I am leaving mine stock. I love it just the way it is! I give it a ten because it is the best amp I have ever played at this price and better than most at any price. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Peace Out!

This amp is as good as if not better than tube amps 5 times its price. I put this side by side with an orange and I prefer the Jet City hands down. Loads of volume, great rock tone and cleans up well with just a roll back of the volume knob. Great blues rock and rock amp, also handles the reggae well. I received on a Thursday brought it to the bar Friday and was blown away, and got more compliments on our sound than ever.

I got this amp a few days ago as I wanted a decent smaller combo to take on the road with me when I go travelling as well as a bedroom/grab and go rig. I couldnt be happier! I didnt even pay the full 400, but for what I paid I dont know how you could go wrong. Not a whole crapload of headroom, but ample. The reverb is a bit weak so I will be replacing the tank and tweaking it, but sounds pretty good for stock. I will more then likely also be changing the tubes, speaker seems pretty decent for stock. The combo also feels really well built, and solid. Decent clean tones, AMAZING rock tones, also solid metal with a pedal. Its fairly versatile as well surprisingly. Tone controls are actually effective as well, all in all a great amp for the money, I would purchase one again for sure!

I was waiting for the head to get back in stock, and saw the price on these combo versions go down, so I grabbed one. Great amp. Added reverb is a plus. Definately not a cheap amp by any means. Sounds as good or better than amps costing three or four times as much. The internal speaker is okay. Not bad. Not awesome. Useable for jamming no worries. But I ran mine through a 2x12 cab with a Vintage 30 and G12H, and wow. Killer tone for days. I am now thinking of changing the internal speaker. A worthy upgrade. But one that I would do on a lot of amps that dont come stock wtih my personal choice of speaker. This is a solid Rock amp. Built well. Sounds great. Clean head room is lacking, but I dont use many clean tones. The tube overdrive is great. And the amp sounds killer with an overdrive, fuzz, or distortion pedal. Really good at what it does... Hard Rock, Modern Rock, Classic Metal.
