I bought this amp without having ever seen one... everything i read about it is true!! It is unbelievably light and powerfull. its not as punchy as the markbass, then again its almost half the weight. I use it mostly for my upright gigs (the lions share of recent gigs), but I have used it twice with my lakland skyline 5 and the tone in active mode is so punchy and losded with mid range growl its made me abandon my 20 year old SWR Readhead. The readhead has been virtually collecting dust since this purchase! When used with the standup it reproduces the actual tone of the instrument as well as anything i have used (with the exception of a friends walter woods through bose cab). The compressor is a bit touchy (less is very much more). I havent used the battery option yet, so I dont have any feedback. The oddest thing about this lil combo is that on quite a few occasions, it has upstaged me. I have had a crowd gather around after shows or during breaks that consist of other musicians that just have to know what that little red box im playing through is. I show it off and explain its merits, but all thats necessary at that point is to sy its excellent! If you want light, veristile and punchy, the PJB brief is an excellent buy. If you buy one, and you should, buy from this site. Fast, courteous service! Will do business with them again!
