Hmmmm. let me see what I can do. I bought mine from MF, there were several reviews raving about its sound on guitar. I use it for guitar and I do have a bronco bass I put a rails humbucker in I play occasionally thru it.

You just pushed me over the edge. I ordered a Zoom Q3 for recording demos and such.

I use stompboxes I for all my dirt and tones and I just feel like multiple channels and such are a waste when all I want is loud and clean. I have never heard an amp distortion I like as well as I like my home brew Big Muff variants. I own a few nice amps, including some nice tube heads but that little Ampeg makes my heart skip a beat.
I swear that the Ampeg MicroVR is the awesomest thing in the world. I can't make it sound bad, no matter what settings or what instrument I use. Looks good, too.

My living room has a wall o' amplifiers (one of the Pathfinders is sometimes an AC4TV, depends on what's in my living room), half of it's mine.

Are you playing Doom stuff i presume?
We found Bass Cabs work better for A standard tuning, as for heads, i use an old 70s Laney PA head. Clean as a whistle. It would be nice to toy with a pre-amp section but with a few dirt pedals this set-up works for me.
If yours does, why bother changing it?
