Alright LATS, I'm ready to hear the real deal about your ampeg amps. I've been looking around on ebay, and I've found the 22, the 40, and the 60 for relatively cheap prices...

So first of all, what kind of styles are they best for? I've been looking at the Carvin Legacy lately, but I'm afraid to get that because of the extreme volume (although I could purchase an attenuator, but that's pushing my budget).

You told me the clean sounds were great awhile back - how about the distortion? Although I'm mainly a jazzer, I've been getting into progressive stuff lately, especially jam oriented rock. I'm not looking for metal here, just a sweet, soaring lead sound. I'm also looking for a good blues tone.

So what's the deal with the ampeg? Spill!

(BTW this isn't just open to LATS, but the entire GT community as well - it's just that Lordathestrings seems to be the advocate for ampegs 'round here).
There are only two important things in life - There's music and theres girls, not necessarily in that order....
