Agreed! I was an Ampeg SVT man for about two decades. And this amp changed everything for me! The cleans are so clean and cutting. And the dirt is nasty, in a good way! But I like my M900v2 Slightly more. The clean sections are identical, but the M900's overdrive is just a little better suited for my music.

I turned into a bit of a DG addict because of this amp! They are top notch for what I feel are reasonable prices. But I really shouldn't have bought 3 of their amps!!!

To everyone else, I know me price may seem high, but again, this is as new as you'll find in a used amp. And I'm not desperate at the moment. But if I get desperate, I will start dropping my price! Same goes for the M900v1 Medusa I'm selling. I've grown fond of all my DG stuff!

In my opinion, that depends more on the cabinet. The few times I got to play this amp at volume was through my Schroeder 1212R cab (2x12). It hit plenty hard and could definitely be felt as much as heard. I hope that helps.

The only amp-related trade deals I'd be interested in would be a DG cab, preferably towards an Elite 810 or 412.

Still one of the cheapest (barely) used AO900s available. Check Reverb and eBay.
