Great amp

I've been using the Dean Markley K series amplifiers for a really, really long time. Great sounding amps that take to pedals well and also sound wonderful on their own. Easy to mess around with and mod, bedroom or gig. I've been through a K-20 and while I technically use a K-50 currently the K-65 is the same circuit with more power. Always my go to recommend for a versatile practice amp for beginners and amateurs alike.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Dirty: All switches in the back down, gain anywhere from 7-10, treble 6, mids 8, bass 3, reverb 10 Clean: Last four switches on the back up, gain at 3-4, treble 7, mids 6, bass 5, reverb 10
