I don't just brag to y'all... I showed my neighbors and will take photos to work! :D

So... How many of you have made a "Best Offer" not really expecting much, But then got Pleasantly Surprised?

This is a Behringer "Vintager" AC112 60 watt, with a 12 inch Jensen Speaker rated at 70 watts.
All the reviews called it a nice "Practice Amp"... [Please know that I live in a Studio Apartment.]
This thing is Huge! Compare it to my other "Big Amp"... A Hughes & Kettner 15-R...

It has a real Tube, which you can see light-up through the grill on top, and 99 effects which you can modify and configure from the basic presets. It oughta take me forever to figure them out. But I figure that I will mostly use the Chorus. But I have three straight electric that I can play through the other 76 effects. (Variations of "The Star-Spangled Banner"?) Unfortunately, the manual that I got online is pretty basic, so it will be trial and alot of error...

So anyone with any experience with one of these wanna give a novice some advice, I would appreciate it.

But basically, I just wanted to show-off... :cool:

No Ear-Plugs... But I do have antique ear-muff headphones so I will wait until I get a good effect combination until I make then neighbors hear it!

Where's that sense of sharing? Try all the settings at '9' and let the neighbors vote on their favorite!

I've got a Behringer with the same effect setup. I haven't figured out how to use them. Of course the extent of my electric guitar songs is a couple of intros.
