This is the Red Face model with the fan switch. I've been using this amp for 5-6 years with absolutely no problems. The speaker cabinets I play through are an SWR Workingman's 4x10T and an 8 ohm, 2x10 Goliath Jr III. On large gigs I use both...

The people’s reaction to Steve Jobs’ death exposed a telling truth: We don’t just use technology like tools anymore. We are now emotionally connected to it. These days, how well a computer scores on a benchmark speed test isn’t as important as it once...

This is a powerful amp for its price. Works well, recommend it. Would like to see more functionality on it however. It needs to have more output options and an easier off and on switch that doesn't stick. Besides that, I am very happy with this...

Two things seem a little strange to me. First of, the Input/Playback knob, which balances the mix between the actual inputs and the playback, seems weird to me. I guess its a neat tool, but I can...
