What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

Incredible tone from that 84 power! For the price and even well above it, it's the best little rock & roll blues machine on the market today. The 1x12 55watter is a beast also for much bigger venues.

This amp is very nice sounding and practical to use in an apartment complex. Attenuated at the lowest level you can play using common sense, without complaints from neighbors and still enjoy the tube sound. Don't get me wrong you will still need the headphones after 10 pm but I've got no complaints since buying it. It is the best entry tube amp at this price!

I grew up with tube amps,Fender's,Marshall's,Musicman and i always had a great sound and took it for granted obviously well they got sold or stolen thru the yrs and couldnt justify buying them(havent been playn out)so got a katana mkii50 for me and my grandson 2yrs ago its a great amplifier but inside i couldnt bond with it at all and only played it short periods,then i said f it and got this on sale and cant stop playing it the guitar sounds real again holy sh#% i forgot how great the tubes sound yup more volume then i'll ever need pedal board yup no prob sounds sweet so glad i got it here at Sweetwater it was triple boxed and looks great too if the tubes fail i'll swap em otherwise she's a runner if your a player who wants a small tube amp cheap here yago

Works perfect with stock speaker. I tried the upgrade some prefer . It canceled the mid range tone that gives this amp a warm vintage tube sound . I sent the speaker back and now play it it stock out of the box

Like all the other reviews- this amp is a little gem. I use it mainly for sound evaluation in my shop where I need clear, pure sound to fully "hear" the finished products/guitars. The size is perfect and it can certainly be used for gigging at a small venue. I also did a tube swap and am using J&Js. I heard a slight difference but then I splurged and went all out with the Eminence Patriot 20w speaker swap...and then the wolf in sheep's clothing really came out. More tonal control, lots of headroom and controllable crunch. It's now the perfect shop/practice and gig amp for sure. Nice build quality, looks great, overall solid and well put together. I feel it's priced very good for what you get. I went over on the speaker mod, it was truly a great amp already- so if you are fixed on price/budget, this thing will be great out of the box. Highly recommend.
