Am I the unlucky one? I have got my empeg out of the box only 5 times since I have had it (nearly 2 months) and now it is broken - something to do with the screen drivers or circuits. I can see its potential, but I need something reliable for competitions, especially Bass ones where the unit is going to get shaken by the bass. (the unit has not been out of the house yet)

I put the beat down on my empeg. I'm big into whitewater kayaking, and the access roads to the river I go mainly to (Chatooga) are all dirt. Since the rafting busses tear through the dirt roads, they are in very poor shape, and tend to make "washboards" in the road, where basically its like driving your car over a giant washboard, or a bunch of tiny speedbumps, all back to back. Either way, my entire Jeep rattles, shakes, bounces, and so on. Some of my friend's river trucks have even been knocked out of alignment/balance because of the roads.

ANYWAY, my empeg has worked flawlessly. I've had it for nearly a year now, and still have had *no* problems with it with it being fragile, even after going down these roads nearly every weekend. The empeg seems pretty sturdy to me. The long term effects, however, of this kind of usage, I am not sure, but its worked great sofar!
