will this amp get me close to the sound of the beatles around 65-67?

I would say yes. It can get pretty jangly if need be. I use it for surf and rockabilly and it's able to get that tone pretty well although the 63 reverb emulation will not push into drip. So you get the ambiance of the '63 reverb but you don't get the drip of the actual unit. So for the price though it's hard to beat for pure versatility and tone.

George and John were both using Vox amps in that period. This is just my opinion, but I think the Super Champ x2 isn't that great. And the 10" speaker isn't enough to cut through in a band situation. This is just my opinion and you should by all means check this out for yourself, but I think the Fender Mustang is a better amp. The Mustang III has a ton of good models plus all effects, it will sound great in your practice room as well as with a full band. It has a 12" speaker so it has more depth and with Fender Fuse if you're handy with a computer you can download your own custom amp models. It's fairly light and is cheaper than the Super Champ. And you can find find a really good deal on a used one with a little effort. The Mustang II is a pretty good amp but the Mustang III is easier to use and at 100 watts it has plenty of power for rehearsal or gigs. I know the Mustang is not a tube amp but solid state has come a long way in the last few years. Good luck and happy picking!

The Mustang III is a better amp? LOL, no way! No modeling amp sounds better than tube amps, especially at louder levels. The clean channel on the X2 is beautiful and being a tube amp combined with these modeling effects makes it a great amp if you want built in effects. Personally id change the speaker out to a WGS G10C and it will be instantly louder and sound better. For what it is, this is a great amp and i like it better than the Blues Jr (price is $599) which imo for the money, it blows even with the 12" speaker. No matter what amp you buy, a good speaker is key. Just having any 12" speaker doesn't make it better and the Mustang is cheaper for a reason. The Mustang III is a better amp? LOL, no way!

Just tune your amp appropriately and it'll be fine. Use a multimeter to tune.

That amp should drive this sub better than most, both are great products so in theory yes it should give you some great sound

get the pyle 3000W hybrid and that should work perfectly unless you feel like buying real expensive amplifiers.

Probably, but it is a P.A. Amplifier and may not have the frequency response you need for music.

Listen to the other answers. They are all correct.I will only add the following,I matched this amp with these bookshelf speakers (rated at 8ohms 120W)Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)and the sound is tremendous! Love the amp!

Absolutely. I'd recommend setting your amp on a nice clean tone, then you can let'er rip.

I agree with 1966, mine is pushing a 12 inch L5 and sounds good but could definitely sound better. So this amp with a 15 inch L7? You would be working this amp out for sure, plus ur sub needs more Watts to sound decent.

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp..I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..

i have this amp on all 4 of my polk db6501 and they sound great it will take a little bit of tuning but if you know what your doing it will be easy. my birth sheet also shows that the amp rated 522 watts.

See my review of this amp kit on Amazon. If it does not answer your questions then get back to me.

Yes you are right gain not pre amp set to about about 2/3 and RVC. Plus your MP3 player or phone to max

You will need a amp instalation kit for this to work. It sounds awsome and the knob to adjust the base to the song is very nice.

It should. I typically wouldn't use a headphone Amp until 65 Ohm or greater.

Hank 51 and Thomas H. are correct, and I wholeheartedly agree with their comments. I've used mine as well with a high-powered vintage Quad (British manufacturer) amp, and they sound great. Just watch the volume level, as these guys have already stated.

I installed a "Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-Watt Stereo Amplifier" for these speakers. I did not want anything really loud just a boost. It works great.

Yes for sure.. Wire your speaker to one ohm.. Hope your amp is stable at one ohm
