Reply With QuoteA friend of mine had a little Gorilla combo back in college. To be totally honest, I thought it sounded like complete and utter garbage. But I'm guessing it was the rock-bottom-low-end model.

Without ever hearing a Gorilla amp, I can't comment on whether or not they are a decent amp.
What I can offer though is that there are ALOT of good amps out there that can be grabbed at a reasonable price off of ebay, or even new. Search around and try a few, and read the posts on here about different amps.

You mean Gorilla had something OTHER than the rock-bottom-low-end models?Originally Posted by marnold
I remember Gorilla amps back when I first started playing in the late 80's. They were the cheapest things around and even though my friends and I were just starting out and playing crap like Memphis and Cort Effector guitars, WE knew Gorilla amps were garbage. Regardless of which Gorilla amp it is and what it's priced at, at a four hour travel time (one way OR round trip), the entire amp isn't worth the cost of gas.....even if you're driving a scooter.
Let's say you were getting it with the intention of modding it. The only mod that makes any sense with a Gorilla brand amp is taking the speaker out, throwing it in the trash, then take the rest of the amp and throw THAT in the trash too.
