On May 1st, 2009, the Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg websites will be updated with the addition of warranty URLs (e.g. www.mackie.com/warranty) expressing new A Stock warranty terms. These warranty URLs will go live on May 1st, 2009. Formerly, warranty periods for these LOUD brands appeared in a variety of locations – in product manuals (for Mackie and TAPCO) and on warranty cards and hang tags (for Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg). In order to streamline and clarify this process, Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg warranty periods and terms will be communicated in full on the warranty pages.
Any LOUD products purchased prior to May 1st will bear with them the manufacturer’s warranty as predates the new policy. Moving through this transition, in order for customers to obtain warranty service, both the sales receipt and a physical copy of the (older) warranty statement will be required by our Service and Support departments in order to issue Service Requests, etc. If the product was purchased on or after May 1st, 2009, but a physical copy of the older warranty terms is not presented, the new warranty terms and periods will apply. Meanwhile, the products that bear with them the new warranty periods (as reflected in the box contents of each product) are being tracked by serial #, and contain new warranty content referring customers to the appropriate brand website.
The information below reflects the product warranty periods that will be effective on May 1st, 2009 for the Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg brands:

I recently bought this amp for use in the hardcore / rock alt band I am in. We are a very serious band, so I needed a very serious rig at a reasonable price (I am a musician after all). I was nervous at first glance that this cabinet would not be loud enough. I went to my local GC and tried it out. I was wrong. This cab can get loud enough for just about any venue. Not to mention the tone controls can get you ANY sound you may be looking for. The tone is great and the versatility is amazing. It is very portable without feeling lightweight and cheap. I traded in my Hartke for this and I would buy this amp again if it were ever stolen.. You can't beat this amp for the price. Try it, buy it, love it
I just picked this stack (more like half stack) up yesterday, and so far my initial impressions are pretty good. The setup sounds great, whether you are goin for that low metal growl(The b string sounds absolutely evil) or that higher tone for pops and slaps it hits them all. The only downside so far I have found, and it isn't really a problem is that when I hit the -15db button to compensate for my active bass, it gets WAY too quiet. Not really a flaw but just keep that in mind before judging its loudness, keep it off and it has volume to spare. The build quality is excellent, nice hard wood and insulation and that awesome checkered tolex covering. So overall you get a beautiful ampeg amp (looks and sound) at a super affordable price. And also, the flip top is super cool, just sayin. I will update this in a few weeks after I have the chance to gig it.
