Anyone have experience with this amp, I've read descriptions of it, but I've never seen any reviews anywhere.

What, am I just imagining that this amp exists or something? Hasn't anyone any information about it?
I personally don't dig it, I think it's way overrated (as far as power is concerned) and it really doesn't do anything for me. It has decent tones, but I think you're much better off finding a different head.
For the same price (actually less) I got my Acoustic 360 and power amp.

I've played it...
It overall did not impress me, I found the tone to be blah, the digital stuff was cool tho, however I think my B-2RE head is better than this thing. I put it side by side with an SWR 350x, the SWR won.
My opinion...Ampeg makes better stuff

Thanks. If not this, then what heads out there for 500 and under would you recommend. My current head is a Peavey Mark VIII but the 9 band eq is a little much for my current knowledge and it's so old I feel like it'll explode any minute now. The peavey is 600 watts 2 ohms, I need something with similar power, and it has to be able to accept 2 ohms.
