The funny thing is I called music123 and tried to do a pricematch with zzounds two days ago and they flatly refused. Now they change their price...horrible customer service to...would not honor their low price guarantee. BTW, music123 got bought out by musiciansfriend.
Just got mine from zzounds and stripped the outer casing...went from 15.4 lbs down to 9.2 lbs naked. Couldn't pass it up at under 3 bills. Now I need to build some speakon cables so I can plug her up.

Thats what they look like out of the casing(Minus the Level 42 graphics of course) and yes easily rackmounted with the supplied rack ears.

Lol, yes they all have the Level 42 album artwork on hidden underneath the casing
I rec'd a superfly from Zzounds and it has some inherent noise(s) to it.
With no instrument plugged in it produces a single coil 60hz type noise. As I turn the volume up I get a faint windstorm effect. If I turn the output volume up I get a faint high pitch plane engine type sound. None of theses annoyances are very loud, but annoying still. Is anyone else experiencing these symptoms?
If these issues are inherent to "digital" amps, its going back. If not, I suppose I'll try to exchange it.

Thanks for the heads up on the coupon! I figured this would pair well with the M-line Wizzy I just picked up. Should be a lot of fun!
Just keep in mind that the power amp setup is 2x250 stereo, you'll only be running one side with the Wizzy. You can't bridge this amp.
I ordered mine from zzounds too and it's doing the same thing. I'm sending it back and getting a new one. Let's hope it was just this amp.
I'd be curious to see if you get the same noises if you short the input. Could be they only designed and tested with an instrument plugged in.
I've played through it. I mentioned that to eliminate the instrument. I'm sure I would've got multiple "it's your bass!" replies otherwise.

FYI, that is a 1/4"/Speakon hybrid connector (as is the one on the M-line Wizzy, and some other EA cabs, in case anyone has one). You can use either a 1/4" or Speakon-equipped speaker cable.
I know how it works. The Wizzy's are highly effecient 4 ohm cabs rated at 200 watts. Thats why I said it should be fun to pair it with the Superfly.
I'm seriously considering picking one of these up as a backup for my iAMP. Both the cabs I use are 4ohm (EA and Yamaha), so I could get the full 500w without any problem. Hmmmm......
Okay, so for those who have played both--should I grab the Superfly for $300, or the Yamaha BBT-500 for $350?
