        Looks like it might be a decent sounding & reasonably priced solid state amp for a pedal platform. If it goes belly up after the warranty expires, its cheap enough to buy another, keep the cab & speaker for a project

        25 watt with 10″ speaker $139
        50 watt with 12″ speaker $199

          Hey Keith,
          I’m betting he spent alot more on pedals than the amp.
          I’m betting that if i bought this amp and these pedals I still wouldn’t sound as good as he does.
          I’m betting that if I did spend as much on this amp and pedals and did sound as as good as he does I still wouldn’t be owning a house like that.
          Afraid to carry this line of thought too much further.
          Thanks for the post.

              Truthfully, I’m playing acoustic more than electric these days.But the Gamma does look like a heck of a bargain.

                Hey Keith, These amps sound pretty good especially in RJ’s video.

                  I thought so too Mike. For someone who uses a lot pedals these amps seems like a decent one for that. For practice, $139 amp would be great for some people. With the advent of the Class D amplifier, prices are coming down more & more.

                  But….a used Peavey Bandit would be around $200 and those are great with or without pedals, very versatile. The Bandit is one of the most respected solid state amps available

                  So, whatever is a poor guitar playing boy supposed to do??? LOL
