This bad boy will run 600w at 2 ohms on each channel... meaning you could run eight 8 ohm cabs!

Needless to say this is a very powerful amp. I've never had the master volume past 3 with the gain at noon.

You can also bi-amp this sucker... like you can do with certain GK amps.

The tone when set flat is quite clean and uncoloured. It has many tone shaping features so you have alot of versatility with this amp. What I really love is that you can run one 8 ohm cab at 800w (bridged). Alot of amps wont give you much power at 8 ohms but this amp will!

The compressor is actually quite musical and is alot better than I thought it would be. I like it.

Its quite similar in tone to the much loved Carvin B1500, but a tad warmer. Its also 10+LBS lighter, and has many more features.

For what you get, this is a very good amp for the money.

I have the original box and manual.

PRICE DROPPED TO $450 + shipping FIRM.

Money Order only please.

Yup. Well, the previous owner had it for a week, but preferred his LMII (which I also have) so listed in the TB classifieds. I scooped it up as I'm a bit of mini amp 'enuthusiast'.

Noob question. Can I, as a nonsupporting member, BUY from the classifieds? In reading the noob material I didn't see anything banning me from buying. Only selling. Did I miss something? I only ask because I made an offer on another amp, and he didn't respond. But then responded to the next post/offer. Granted the offer was more than mine, but was sent well after mine. Thought maybe that was his way of saying step off nonsupporting dude.
I am considering a supporting membership, by the way. I'm new here, and still feeling things out. If you know what I mean.

People do it all the time. I dont think its a big deal. The seller might feel more combfortable selling to a member with a history at TB and to someone who has a feedback rating. But that depends on the seller. Many times I've sold stuff on bassgear.com and Harmony Central classifieds without knowing anything about the buyer... haven't been ripped off yet!

So yeah, personally I'll to anyone who has an interest.
