Amazing speaker

The speaker in this combo amp (celestion 70/80) is amazing for high gain distortion tones.

Sensitive.

A real beauty in every way, take me back to when musicians had total control of their sound, lots of knobs with various names for them, to when a slight move of the knobs made complete change to the sound, the HB80r is that guitar amp.

Internet downloads, "give me a break". This amp is the real thing and sure.

The slight prob is its sensitivity to the electricity supply, my house is 'out in the hills' electricity is pretty 'dirty', so I can't really use this amp at home because of this, I had a 'hi watt' years ago with the same prob, but at gigs, this HB80r is perfectly OK with town electric supply & rings like a bell.

A superb machine for sure, ideal for mature P90 rockers like me.

Not complaining

Price-to-quality is okay. I use it for home practice, never tried it on stage. I would say it keeps a good company, not comparable to expensive amps, this one has limited coverage, and the sound is good, not great, but good.

Great If you are playing in a band for bars, pubs, private events it is perfect for

bringing it along being just the right size to fit inside your car or use in your studio office.

The power it has is just as good as any pro amp, plenty of volume enough to blow your ear drums out. Settings has what you need to perform and is very effective. It could use a delay, other than that I have no complaints, for the price it does what it was made to do. Cheer's

Much to my amazement this is a nice amp for playing jazz, I love it and I've got many other amps. Now I always use this one

Big amp and loud!!!. Solid design with basic features and is ideal for a begginer. Hope it lasts a few years.

Some Nice features but sound is crack

There are some nice features such as option for footswitch, external speaker and fx-loop, but i think the sound suffers from the price with all these features.

The basic sound (all 12'o clock) sounds very bass, so you have to turn treble all the way up or bass down to get a nice 'clangy' sound. Other than that the gain sounds terrible and as soon as you crank up the volume above ca.15% the amp starts buzzing and humming.

Personally I would lay down a few more bucks and buy a katana or something. I hope i helped some people with this.
