History:
Purchase: Ordered this amp to use for live performing after hearing other guitarists using it. Purchased from Musicians Friend for $199. They have it on sale now for $149. It is not a $2000 Marshall stack, but it is a great sounding combo amp with 2 12" speakers, and 100 watts of power. It has clean and overdrive channels. It weights about 65 pounds.
What I Like About This Unit: I run my guitar into a mackie 1202 VLZ pro mixer. From the 1202 I send the first effects send through a johnson j station and the second effects send through an adrenalinn. The main outs of the 1202 go out to the guitar amps. I use the ROGUE GS100R amp for stage volume on the right side of the stage and marshall valstate model 8040 on the right. The ROGUE GS100R works great for a clean sounding amp with plenty of stage volume. The EQ on the ROGUE GS100R is the same taper and range as the EQ on my Fender Twin combo. I use a Digitech RP1 in the effects send of the ROGUE GS100R and it sounds good there. We mic my two stage amps and then run them through our lexicon reverbs so I dont usually use the reverb or overdrive on the ROGUE amp. The reverb sound is the same as the spring reverb on my VOX Royal Guardman amp. The overdrive channel sounds like my PEAVEY CLASSIC combo amp set on 10. The spring reverb and overdrive sound as good on the ROGUE GS100R as they do on any combo amp, I just prefering to control the sound more with midi kicking in the effect sounds from a Compaq Presario 1500. In this way the j station and adrenalinn settings are pre-tweeked and syncronized to the beat of the song for delay times so I can concentrate more on playing. There is a speaker switch and headphone out on the ROGUE GS100R so you can turn off the main speakers and use headphones if you need to for tuning up or late night practice.
What I Do NOT Like About The Rogue GS 100R: I like the unit. For any guitarist most of their sound comes from their head and hands. This amp just translates what the guitar player does. If you play well it will sound great, if you don't play well and don't have any ideas it will show that too.
GS 100R Quality: The ROGUE GS100R is well constructed and has been holding up well to constant use for the past year. I play live using it 6 nights a week and it has not given me any problems. It is a very quiet clean sounding amp with alot of volume.
Summary: I like the ROGUE GS100R for all it is. It gives me the tone and volume that I need for playing live. A great sounding combo amp and a real value for $149.
