I purchased it for my Yamaha P-200 keyboard. I returned it four times to Alesis. They tried to figure out the low power problem. They felt that it was working properly. I have been playing in bands for years, and there is a definite flaw in this amp. I say this because Alesis sent me a new one and it had the same problem. All the people I spoke to at Alesis did their best, however they were not able to fix the problem. I had a new amp that I could not use, and unfortuanatly they would not take the amp back because the warranty had just expired (Even though I had been complaining to the dealer I originally purchased it from, well within the Warranty period). Remember Alesis had just given me a completly new amp. I solved the problem by purchasing a small yamaha PA system (Board and two speakers). The keyboard sounds great and 100 watts of power surpasses-with ease-the 300 watts the Sumo 300 is suppose to have. I have a new Sumo 300 that I have no use for. Anyone who has this amp,I am sure, understands what I am stating, and should call Alesis. Maybe they will look closer to what a larger amount of customers have experienced. I have purchased other Alesis products that do what they are suppose to do. The sumo 300 does not have any power.
