Blown Tweeter
I have owned this amp for about 3 months and my tweeter is out. I dont even use the highs volume on the amp and the thing is already blown. I use it on stage alot and it does not seem to want to put out as I expected it too. Every since I got it out of the box I have noticed this funny smell that comes from the amp when played...maybe its my cheap SP-200 Korg that I have hooked up to it...But I will get it fixed and see what happens with it now...plugged into a Motif ES8...overall the see and hear the greatness in this amp and hope it doesnt return to me doing the same..

Perfect
I have owned this amp for about 3 years. I have used it traveling with roland drums - It has been rugged and sounds great. It is currently being with used a korg keyboard - killer sound - highly recommend. It is heavy, but in my opinion, that's how you tell when you've got a good speaker.

Great overall
I have been using this amp for almost 2 years, and am currently running a Roland RD-700, a Yamaha P120, and a Nord Lead 2X through it. The sound quality is superb for Highs and Mids, but it does not handle lows very well (sound can get very muddy) - although their KCW-1 subwoofer would theoretically fix that. There is a bit of a hiss from it on my setup, but most of that is coming from one of my keyboards. It has PLENTY of volume - I have had many sound techs underestimate it at shows. Construction is very sturdy, and my only complaint is that the single handle on top rather than one on each side makes moving it a bit clumsy. It is one of the more expensive keyboard amps out there, but after 2 years of daily use (average of 2-3 hours of practice every day, or a show) it has no signs of wear and tear - audible or visual.
Great value, even for the cost, but if you want to push low end make sure you utliize the sub out.

Fantastic
My mother bought me this for a Christmas present, on accident, since this is a keyboard amp and I play guitar. However, this has worked extremely well for me and the sound is so pure.. I think I'm just going to keep this, haha. This amp is fantastic guys, you won't regret it.

All you need!
I play guitar through this guy and sing through it as well. I've played at Cafes and Delis and it really gets the job done...right! I just run my POD2.0 right to it and run a mic through a small Mackie mixer (better EQ and balanced-IN) and I'm ready to go! Plenty of power, and great versatility. The Casters are a nice touch and while not light, it could be heavier. My only gripe, which is why I haven't giving it all 5's, is that the Volume controls stick and it's almost like they don't activate. I have to flutter the Volume know back and forth, back and forth until I any kind of response! This can take as little as 10 seconds and up to 15 minutes!!! It really does drive me crazy! But I have had this amp for a long time...probably about 6 years, so my problem may be a moot point. And yes it is a keyboard amp and Keys sound GREAT through it.
