HBAC-20 : Blast the Neighbours

I am new to amps, so I got this one because it was cheap enough to sell on if I didn't like what I got. A good choice for what turned out to be the wrong reasons. I love this amp.

First, the reason it gets four stars rather than five across the board. I found it a little difficult to start off. It goes to a green (standby) light when you turn on and only goes red (let it rip now) when it picks up a signal from the plugged in guitar. Fair enough, but I didn't realise that it needs a hearty strike on the sixth string (it works for me) to get it up to speed, after this it's all systems go. A minor criticism, but it frustrated me until I read a previous customer's review which talked of a strong signal on start up.

The good points- it looks good and better than its price would suggest; it lets you produce sounds that are truly wonderful, I turn up the chorus when I' doing slow slide and it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up; it's GREAT value for money, the nearest I could find elsewhere was more than double the price; and for fans of Spinal Tap, these go to fifteen!
