I just bought a used one and although I like the sound and features, it is barely loud enough for a band. As usual solid state watts aren't not even close to tube watts. Loudness and clean headroom wise I would put this roughly in the category of a 12 watt Fender Princeton. It will get you by with an efficient speaker in a 4 piece band but can leave you wanting more clean headroom. I wish I had gotten the 100 watt version.
Hi Matt. Nice job on the demo. I have The AMP 50 as well. Thanks for the pedal examples, that's next on the list. FYI, I can fit The AMP and a tele inside an acoustic case for travel, practice on the road using the headphone jack.
how loud was it in the room?
What other kinds of thoughts would you give besides "honest" thoughts? Are you trying to say this is not sponsored?
It will hold it's own despite of time since it's a proper amp, they sound great !
I love my amp 100. Fave device to record direct and takes my pedals so welll. So simple to use unlike others. Set it and forget it
????????????
This unit is awesome. I'm using mostly clean sounds (but it does take pedals well). Can't say enough good things really.
Great video ????!
I like these small pedalboard amps, personally I use Taurus amps for gigging and rehearsing, actually Taurus is the first that started to make these and probably the most advanced one too.
sounds pretty great
Awesome demo and thanks for making me aware of this incredible amp. SHM, I was totally unaware of it.
