i recently got my rocktron replitone and havent had a chance to post a review. im posting a review because this amp gets no attention and it deserves alot.

Review:
here are some of the features.
Rocktron’s DTR Technology
HUSH® Noise Reduction
30 Programmable presets w/MIDI Interface
Stereo 24-bit Digital effects
16 Vintage and Modern Amplifier Replications
120 Watts (60 per side in the 212 version)
Tap Tempo Delay and Trem Rate
Stereo Headphone Output with Speaker Simulator
Traditional Look and operation
Real amplifier controls
Dozens of effect configurations

price i paid us $399.

This amp has models for everything from boutique and tweed cleans to high gain models, with some really great vintage models for a great classic rock tone. It has just about any effect you would want and they all sound quite nice.
Build Quality: this amp is as solid as a rock, very gigable. it has metal covered corners and every knob and jack is built so it feels strong and you dont have to be afraid of breaking it. it can definately withstand alot of abuse

Sound Quality: WOW this amp has great tones. ive compared it to the spider 2 series, vox valvetronix and roland cubes and i think the replitone beats them all. Most modeling amps are either have great cleans or great distortion, this has both. Its all about how you tweak it. The tweed, plexi and ac30 models are all really great for blues and vintage rock. With the higher gain models i can get a close to perfect van halen tone that really screams for solos. set to the thrash setting and with some tweaking ive got instant metallica and ozzy tones. The sound is really great on this amp

Reliability: Ive only had this amp for 2 weeks or so, so i dont know how it will do in the long run but my estimate is that it will perform as well as it does now in 5 years. Its a solid state ( sorry for not mentioning that earlier) so it doesnt need maintanence. I would definately gig with this amp, even without a footswtich! Im not afraid of it cutting out or having any random issues. its also very light ( around 70 lbs) for how much power it has.

Overall: This amp is no mesa rectifier or marshall plexi but it cost me $400 instead of $4000. it has better build quality and sound any modeling amp ive tried. it has tons of effects and soaring lead tones. Anyone considering a new amp should give the rocktron replitones a shot.

Great review. I was just about to ask what you thought of this as a quot;bedroomquot; amp . . . then I noticed it's 120 watts!

Still, a good price for that much power.

Thanks for sharing. (Post clips.)

Hey thanks for the review.

I love Rocktron gadgets. Their sonic performance probably can't match them hi-cost custom pedals /they hit the level of a dmn good sound for me, anyway/ but on tour I need reliable and solid-as-brick gear and Rockrton is just that. Plus, in my experience their technical support is superb.

I've never had a chance to try anything by rocktron.

Great review though! I'll surely check this amp out if I see it!

i actually use it as a bedroom amp mainly. it really shines at low volumes. it also has a headphone jack which helps alot too. it does get loud quickly though. I want to post clips but unfortuantely i dont have a mic or any recording software. maybe someday.

Just get a cord and hook up the Replitone headphone jack to your computers
soundcards line in or mic in. You'll need a cord with a 1/4quot; plug on one end and a 1/8quot; plug on the other end. Or just get a regular guitar or patch cord and go to radio shack and get an 1/4quot; to 1/8quot; adapter.

For recording software there are a bunch of freeware around.
Check out Digital Sound Planet. load their free version of Quartz Audio Master.

Your all set to do some recording.

wait , i thought you had to get a mic to record? so all i need is that specific cord? wow thanks
