I used to have an iAmp 350, and I missed it. Picked up an iAmp 500 here on TB from Freddels. Great amp. Can't believe how great it sounds and how versatile it is. I'm in love all over again.

I just joined the club. I picked up a used iAmp 500 and it is fantastic. Thought the volume level seemed low for the power rating, but it is just more a more linear adjustment, not front-loaded like my other amps. The tone presets are great. I could go on and on.

I got some rack ears by e-mailing EA, $50 shipped. Whatever, they look good in my rack.

Yeah, I have the i-amp Doubler, I use with a barefaced cab. Brilliant tone and light weight. My dream rig. Sounds great with my 6 string 34' scale bass and my u-bass. Don't plan on changing for a long time.

I've been using a line six pod xt into a Ea iAMP 350 combo- for several yrs, and it's amazing!
It takes up very little space and packs a punch. I also have a Ea Nl 2-10 series 3 cab that I occasionally use. What I like most about Ea is how my basses sit in the mix, regardless of the venue. I usually play thru a killer pa, so my Ea rig is basically a stage monitor, but wow, what a sound.

I just bought a used iAmp 500 combo that has a single 12 equipped with a whizzer cone. The EQ section seems to be extraordinarily flexible and I was able to dial in a wide range of sounds using the parametric controls and the tone shaping presets. The build quality is somewhat better than any Chinese made product and it has more than enough output for what I do. The whizzer cone speaker doesn't have as much 'zing" as a separate HF driver, but that also means that the dispersion is smooth without any off-axis changes. I like it so far.
