Has anyone used or know anything about this amp? I'm thinking about buying this or the 2 X 10 module.
I'm also looking at the Hartke VX3500 Combo.

Yup. It just got here this week.

I haven't fully done a "test drive", just practiced band tunes using a Fender Jazz 5 while running an MP-BT1 in the "high" input.

Solid Ampeg tones. It is not 40 LBS..more like 55 LBS, still light.

I ran it fairly hard (for practicing tunes) for about 2 hours with no issues. I'll know more when I get to band practice.

BTW...I have a Hartke 2500 head and really like it. I have it match with a 1-15 (old) Traynor bottom that I loaded with an EV speaker.
