I agree that $135 is a good deal, but consider this, especially if you're interested in gigging.

The Peavy KB100 was my first KB amp. Because of limited funds, it was all I could afford when I first started out solo gigging way back when. To be honest, I was never happy or satisfied with its sound quality (hollow & un natural), and it was really bulky to lug around to boot. I was so happy when I could afford dump it and trade up to the Roland KC300's. What a vast improvement in sound. From there I moved up to the EV SxA100's, which resulted in another ten fold sound improvement.

If I had the opportunity (and wisdom) to do this all over again, and the EV SxA100's were available back then, I would have gone straight to the EV SxA100, even though I would have had to charge up my credit card to the MAX. Why?

Because I've learned (thru the years) that second only to your performance, that your sound QUALITY will make or break you in landing, keeping, and booking subsequent gigs, and directly affects your gig earning potential as well. Think of that extra $ you spend as an initial investment that will turn around and pay itself off in higher paying gigs, quickly paying off your investment and reaping profits sooner as well. Just my opinion. - Scott
