Let me put a photo of GTX-60.
Let me put it this way, this particular combo amp is somewhat priced at RM1090 and in Kuching you can purchase it at almost all the Music Shop around the city. But some may not keep stock of it so better check with them before you decided to drop in and purchase this awesome combo.
I can tell you lots of good stuffs about this cool combo but at the end of the day its up to you to test and try it out. Its worth a while if you are on the verge of becoming a good guitarist with the help of something affordable...like this.
I'm not going to go details on the spec as all of you can just read it from here. Anyway, what i find the good stuffs from this ergo and die-hard construction built combo is that it gives us a little bit of space to not find it necessary to take the gain control to the fullest like a young and excited kid who just got his first guitar and rammed its combo at his garage's back room...heheh. Anyway, back to the subject, the combo's single speaker 12" Bugera is a GEM and with its rugged cabinet delivers that gain. It still cover some of the crunchiness you would expect from this mid size cabinet. YES, it can screams if you want it to and also with an attached footswitch you can change the sound to clean with very minimal effort. The clean sound is as soothingly impressive when accompanying with the fx.
What I think would be the cons for this combo amp are relatively due to its brand on which most people would not recognize it as strong as peavey, marshall, orange, or randall, or even Hughes and Kettner. Some minor cons are really very small like the lows could be warmer, tonal attributes can be further enhanced to create more note depth and impact which may be constitute to less ability in separating highs and lows.
To summarize what I think about this product is that it is so versatile that it makes the grade for hobbyist and amateur musicians like most of us and it is a warm welcome to a contemporary sound and cool performance.
Biggup for Behringer.
