I've played through a set up at Guitar Center. It's a great setup. I don't think it will ever crap out on you. You can literally get ANY tone you want. I'd buy it over ampeg any day! I planed on getting that same set up myself.

I have not yet tried one out but I plan to. I like the simple control layout. I'm not into the equalizer section that many amps have, I love the weight, size and power (500w@4ohms). That is the future of SS amps. Small, lightweight and powerful.

They do sound delicious. I dont know about the power, but they are great sounding amps.  alot of guys on TB rave about them.

I plugged into one @ Guitar Center in L.A., it caught on fire before I could even play a note!!

I wasn't overly thrilled by what I heard from these amps. I tried a couple of their amps w/different cabs (including their own), and nothing stellar or spectacular. I guess that they are the flavor of the month! I can truley say that I do not care for their cabs.

Light and powerful with a good eq section -  the filters are a big plus.  Can go for a clean, hi-fi sound to a nice warm sound.  I've been playing one for the last 4 or 5 months and I'm totally digging it.  I haven't played any of the cabs yet.

I'vr played their 12 inch combo at GC. I am a mediocore "slapper" but it made me sound goooood. So good in fact about a month later I bought the bass I was playing.
