Picked up the 15 inch 300 watt combo and so far its a very good lightweight class D type combo. There isn't much info on these amps so I'm curious how others who have owned them feel about them.

Those Ibanez Promethean amps?
- Thread starter Greyfoxxero

I have a P300H and am ok with it. It matches the oomph of my shuttle 3.0. The tone is sufficient, and the limiter works alright at keeping away the not-so-pretty overdrive. I keep the "phat" below noon, and the mid above 1:00 mostly. The bass I also roll off, 10:30-11:00. I get close enough to what I get and like from my Genz Benz.
Not bad sounding amps IME although a little dark when run with '"noon-ish" tone controls.

I have the P3110. I like it a lot--I can use it for home practice on up, adding a cab when needed (which really opens up the sound) or running a DI to a PA. (The DI is pre-EQ, I just learned, which is good.) Plus, it's light (if that's all I'm using for a gig, it's a one-trip load-in), and it sounds nice: clean but warm (my friend with a 215 SVT is even impressed). In a perfect world, they'd do away with the Phat control (it's just a mid-scoop/bass & treble boost) and have Bass, Low Mid, High Mid, and Treble controls, which is what's on the little 20 W version...why that's not on the gigable Promethean amps is beyond me. (And I wish they hadn't discontinued the matching 110 cab for the P3110.) But all in all, it's a well designed, good sounding, useful amp, and it's very reasonably priced.
