I have been waiting for Peavey to come out with these mini heads for a while. It was worth the wait. They definitely listened to the bass playing community when they out this one together. Has all the features you could ask for, it sounds great, and has plenty of power. I have or have had many other brands of these light weight heads, and this one has become my favorite.

.I am always looking for ways to lighten my load at gigs. I am very happy with this 6 pound dynamo. Tuner is handy and the sound is awesome, but the head room this little amp has is what has convinced me to use it as my primary rig from now on. You can't beat what this amp delivers for the price!
