"It's a shame that this don't work right. I know i'm not the only one to have this experience with this amp."

Quality:
The amp goes out for no reason at all. it's got to be a manufacture defect.

Value:
Good price, bad equipment.

Sound:
The amp sounds good when it's working properly but it don't work for more than a few months. I'm on my second one in less than a year.

Support:

"Nice amp at a nice price"

Feature:
The tuner on mine doesn't work very well. Still rely on my old battery-powered tuner. Also, the octave and distortion features don't sound terribly natural. I don't use.

Quality:
No problems with quality workmanship or materials.

Value:
Great amp at a great price.

Desirability:
A tweeter would be nice.

Sound:
Sounds great. Gets loud without distortion.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play!

Support:
Never needed (knock on wood!)

Overall:
Fills a room with quality sound. No distortion. Easy to use. Buttons are nice. Some features that I don't think anyone would use, but I could be wrong. All-in-all, a great amp.
