This "handy" light & loud budget amp is my ideal stage partner.
Light & small to carry, a great clean sound for maybe the ever adaptable acoustic guitar, or the clean electric guitar, and really nice breath takingly clean for P'90 p'ups.
Distortion is usable, but needs careful knob adjustment to find a sweet spot (it is there though) and I'm warming to it as the speaker inside eases it's new stiffness. The 'line out' to the main PA in case of need for more sound actually does its job nicely, works perfectly well with my sound system.
I also plug into the "backing tracks in", a 1 channel mic mixer which makes the mb49r into a complete (vocals and guitar) system, well loud enough for small bar/coffee house gigs.
I have had enough with "digital download disappointment" sounds, this mb40r is a true guitarists amp.
Very good eq range too.
I have used/owned some big name quality guitar amps & have been 'guitaring for 61yrs now, but this little beauty is so refreshing to use. I'm finding this price range and size of guitar amps really coming to life recently. I even got the 20w version of this amp for "that small bar in town".
The cost of fueling up "diesel" my gig van is 1-1/2 times the cost of this guitar amp. I Love them:-)
