"For a practice/starter combo...you can't overlook this..."

Feature:
Basic and to the point, just what you want in a practice amp. It does what it should. Having a line in for a CD player (or other external music source like an MP3 etc) is awesome, I haven't actually used this function yet but it's nice knowing it's there LOL

Quality:
I've only had it for a few days so it hasn't been roughed around yet and I generally take good care of my stuff anyway, but it feels and sounds solid, no "show" bits that aren't needed. It's very basic so I think it will last.

Value:
I paid NZD$299 for it and normally I would think it would be a bit much for a combo this size but when I heard it, it sounded very decent and thought, well, why not?

Desirability:
How would I rate the "sex appeal"? LOL its a small combo...we all know bigger is better! I would say this is like the drunk one night stand you DONT tell your friends about....

Sound:
Ok, remember that its only a 20W amp, but for a litte thing it goes great, its not going to cut if for a studio session or playing against drummers etc, but for PRACTCING, its perfect, great punch, the 10db helps, good tone and playing with a bass that has active pickups adds to it

Ease of Use:
Plug and play, can't much easier than that.

Support:
I have not needed to use support and doubt I will. There's not a lot that can go wrong with it.

"this crazy good practice amp"

Feature:
the most useful feature is the 10db gain it helps a lot but is not enough, i think...

Quality:
i have played on this amp for about a year and is still as good as when i bought it

Value:
this amp was cheap, real cheap

Desirability:
this amp is not this best looking but who really cares

Sound:
this is an awesome amp but it is quiet, if ur goin to play in a band i would consider a different amp becuse the drums will just cover up ur sound, this amp has a wide range of sounds and is pretty good i would deffinitly recomend it

Ease of Use:
this is the best practice amp, cause it is simple and small

Support:
nope i never had to even go back to them after i bought this product

Overall:
i am goin to get another one in aout a year because i want a pedal but the pedal is as much as the amp with the pedal built in so i think ill just get that instead
