I wanted an amp to drive my Markbass NewYork 151.I didn't want to spend to much, because I have other hobbyes too. I play just at home, so I turn the gain and master volume just a quarter.(at this volume, the fan starts to blow after 1 hour and is not loud. Tried a couple of times the maximum output-sounds great. I like the aux input and the headphones output.Nice build, nice finish.I'm happy with it.
