Sweetwater Advice

AJ Petersen

This is the perfect bass amp for churches or the gigging musician playing small venues. This setup is small and portable and surprisingly loud and powerful. If you don't think the 2x10 cab is enough, get two and link them together.

This a great looking and sounding little amp!

I needed a practice amp that would work for small to medium gigs. I'm a old school type of guy, keep it simple. This amp is prefect! Great looks, solid sound with that svt look without the weight. I can't wait to try it out at the gig! Again, sweetwater is the best! P.S. thanks for the candy!

Not bad if using 4 ohm setup

It is a great sounding amp, but it holds it's own during practice only if you have two cabinets plugged in.

I'm considering a second one.

Great Sound, Great Price, Almost Perfect

This is a very nice lightweight amp. I also have a 1970's Ampeg B410 combo and this amp sounds much better (played through the B410's speakers, so it's a good comparison). Also much louder than I expected, so don't think it's just a toy. My only complaints are that the fan is a little loud if you're playing softly and the tolex could be a little more scratch resistant.

great little head

This is a very good head especially considering the size and price. This little guy is just as at home driving full size 4x10 and 8x10 cabs as it is powering the matching 2x10. While running it through an 8x10 it only gets slightly warm (the gk head i had before it would always run very hot). The sound is pretty good but even so i run it through a pretty extensive rack rig to get my perfect ideal sound (a slightly driven svt type of sound with a little more balls)

great for quiet settings

very cool product to use as a practice amp, demo recording, or small venues. i have it in combo with the cab, its about 2 feet tall but sounds remarkably like a real svt. not recomended for use with driven guitars and drums, but an acoustic set would be fine. its perfect for an apartment when volume is an issue.
