I have the Roque SC40R, and was so impressed with that little package, I thought I'd give the 80w a try. As 1 previous reviewer noted, even without any input source plugged in, the 2 SC80R that I've tried produces a very low, but equally very annoying hum. I have tried different power sources, but to no avail. I sent both back, as I found the hum unacceptable. I'll stick with the little SC40R!

Great price for a nice amp. Has a non digital sound. Sound is more and natural and old fashioned than some of the newer amps. Good for classic stuff etc. I like it!

I wasn't really blown away by the sound, like one reviewer stated heavy on the bass will rattle the speakers, but for the money it's a great little amp. I get great sound when I use my line 6 mobile pod and Ipad to simulate different amps. When this one wears out, hopefully in ten years or so, I will buy another one.

This is a decent little amp. I debated buying this, but I'm glad I did. As I noted, the speakers are not strong enough to keep up with the amp, in my opinion. They tend to float when using a deeper, bassy tone. Otherwise, its just fine. Instead of returning it, I'm going to upgrade the speakers.

Incidentally, the amp weighs 37 pounds. I could not find one source, even calling musicians friend, that could provide that number for me. I didn't find out till I opened the box.

I like the sound of this rogue amp. Simple to use and would work for bands and home use. Powerful and sounds good, but the reverb could be better. I just bought mine the other day and im happy with it. Could not wait to try it out. I like the chorus and that works very well. Everything else is what i expected for the price it was. I use all kinds of guitars in this amp and have been playing music for thirty years.I like the way its made and its not real heavy to carry around. Its a good all around amp for what ever you want to use it for. Never had a rogue amp before and it was better than i thought it would ever be.

After finally tiring of dragging my Peavy Vypyr back and forth to our practice studio I decided to just leave it there so was looking for an additional practive amp to keep in my bedroom.

This is a completely different type of amp than the Peavy - no modeling/digital effects - but I really wasn't using most of the functionality of that amp for home practice anyway. Basically my criteria for "replacing" it were affordability and a really solid/quiet clean channel that I could coax some nice tones out of.

After reading multiple positive reviews and finding this amp for a nice chunk off (bascially putting it at the same price point at it's 40 watt little brother) I decided to take a chance. I was only vaguely familiar with Rogue as a brand and was a bit dubious about quality.

After playing around with this for a couple weeks now I think I can accurately say that the reviews are largely accurate. The clean channel is quiet, powerful enough, and I have been able to coax some nice tones ouf of it with multiple guitars/pick-up configurations by playing with the tone/eq settings. In fact, some really nice warm, bluesy stuff especially through single pickups.

The second channel is not bad but, perhaps because it's on a carpeted floor in my room and not on a stand like my other amps in my home studio are, has some odd tonal qualities. I have not played with this as much and will amend my review when I do - but for now have found it to be oddly muted sounding - even with the midrange scooped. It's also fairly noisey - it takes quiet a bit of tweaking of the master/volume controls, gain and treble to cut down on the hiss.

As other reviewers have said - the reverb is a bit weak. You have to really push it to get much effect and the depth/quality is just ok. If that is an important element to your playing I would probably suggest looking into a pedal instead.

The chorus, on the other hand, is actually quite good. I have monkeyed around with running my Boss CE-3 through the amp and comparing it to the native system and I have to say that, the variability and range I can get from the pedal aside, the quality of the built in chorus is comparable if not better. For adding some shimmer and depth to the clean channel it is really pretty solid.

In addition to the Vypyr I also have an older Zoom Fire36, a Marshall MG30 and a Marshall MG100hdfx head matched to a Marshall 4X12 cabinet (with an array of pedals) that I use to varying degrees. All solid state (sorry purists) so I can't compare the clean channel of the Roque to any tube amps first hand. Compared to everything I have, however, I give it really high marks as a great practice companion - especially for the price.

If i figure out how to get better tone out of the second channel I will add to my comments. For now I would call it adequate if you want to get a little hairy while practicing but not on par with my other equipment for that purpose.

I like this amp for the money - I bought the warranty because it was affordable. It does develop a buzz after about 1/2 hr use. I will probably have to send it back because I want to record with it. The stereo effect is awesome. Tone is awesome. I wish I had the option to use headphones out for line out without turning off the speakers.

This amp for the money penny to penny is worth it. Remarkable sound and undisputed the best value for the price paid!!!!

The price was great so I just had to take a chance on this amp. Glad I did cause it has surpassed all my expectations. I planned to use it for small venues and mic it to the mains for acoustic but like it enough that I actually added it to all venues and found good use along side my Marshall. Some great sounds for blues and western swing using with my Ovation Viper 3 Would have gone 5 stars except for some hum when in distortion mode

Bought on whim from the stupid deal of the day, Glad I did. I would say that is has a clear sound, very warm and plays friendy with pedals and digital modelers.

I use a zoom g2 and sound really good when combined with my p90 hollow body guitar. I wonder if I should up grade speakers but that may be me, but so far the amp is meeting and exceeding my needs. Give the sc80r amp a second look.
