Review by a visitor on 10.4.2008




Chuck Levinnulls Washington Music Center, $700, read reviews and couldnt beleave them, when to store and played it for like 3 hours non-stop, amazing amp

 
 
  Features  
 
ALL tube amplifier 120 watts, available as 2x12 or head, 3 channels, digital reverb, effects loop parrell with return and send volume controls, line out with volume control, NOISE GATE with amount controll (this is the quietist high gain amp ever), and an XL swith that is on the two od/dist channels that beefs up the bass end and adds a bit more presence, comes powered by EL34nulls but can be changed to 6L6nulls
Pretty much a peavey JSX control board

  Playability  
 
lol, the clean is like a bassman or twin reverb, chrunch goes from TS9 to cranked out marshall JCM800, and the lead is Marhall to Mesa in the turn of a knob, EXTREAMLY VERSITILE, when you can find an amp to inspire you, you know you got a good amp, thats exactly what this will do for you. it has the price tag of a practice amp, but the features and sound of a botique amp, BEST BUY for an amp right now
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
let me tell you, put it at 1 you got a bedroom practice amp, at 2 you got a recording amp, and at 3 you got a concert amp, 4 on is pure amazment, can get EXTREAMLY LOUD, but as soon as you stop playing your guitar, it as quiet as a rock, this is an amp than generates zero noise, YES IT CAN FEEDBACK! but dont stand next to it at that volume, performs better than any other amp except for the really high end botiques, for the price its a no brainer, amazing sound quality, reverb is a bit weak, but great on clean, if your serious about reverb you should have an effect pedal anyway. EVERYTHING IS A 9.5/10, GREAT AMP
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
built like a tank engineered by soviets. this thing has an all wood and steel cab covered by tolex, they even have a grill in front of tube so they stay ventilated and you dont get burnt. BUT, the bugera emblem and controll knobs are a cheap chromed plastic, another concern is the potentiometers (pots) are a bit loose
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
Amazing amp, especially for price tag, it beats out amps twice its price no problem, if it broke or was stolen I would hunt down the person that did it and mugg them, then take there credit card to buy a new one, thats dedication right there. Amazing amp, many cool feature, and all for the price of a valveking, its like a 120 Mesa Boogie for 700 dollars, I LOVE THIS AMP, only problem is finding one to tryout. They are distributed by Bheringer. Since they are new, and amazing, price is likely to go up as demand does, soon enough it will be priced like other amps of its kind, so BUY ONE NOW!
