Hey guys... any of you had any experience using them?
Say the 50W combo with reverb?? What do you think about it?

IMHO they're great for the money. See Rob Balducci's comments on them in the interview he did with Glen (it's in jemsite.com)

I own a 15R and have also tried the 25R. I find the 15R very good for its price and within its range (price and wattage), but for the price of a TB50 I believe there are many worthy alternatives as well.

The good thing about ToneBlasters is that they can give really extreme distortion and they are solidly built. Clean channel is also nice, though lacking in character (IMO). I have combined mine with a V-Amp 2 and they match really nicely to give a good range of tones.

Well, I read the interview; but the comments were pretty brief.

Maybe some of you guys can give better comments

The front page in jemsite.com. The least visited in the site, I'm sure!

IMO these are very good for those of us who are keen on the solid state tone, which i'm itching to invest in right now...

the TB amps are comparable to the smaller Marshall AVTs. it's definitely cheaper as they don't bear the Marshall boutique tag. i've nothing against these Marshalls, but for those of us who want value-for-$$ amps, the TB is definitely worth checking out.

i'd check the head TB version myself. if this is any good, i'd ditch the plan to buy bthe Peavey XXL...
