"COULD YOU ASK FOR MORE?"

Feature:
I have never seen an amp with more features. Built-in tuner, 3-button footswitch, 3 channels, and even lights! The footswitch excellent for quick channel switching. i love the lights, for the obvious reasons. Another wonderful feature is the tuner. I didn't have a tuner and now its built into my amp. I can now just bring my amp to my gig and not worry about forgeting my tuner. Every amp should have one. One feature I wish it included was a cd input. Too bad! All in All, tons of features. Can you ask for more?

Quality:
Well it seems nicely put together-very sturdy and strong. I have only had it a month or so and it hasn't quit on me, so I'm not rreally sure about the quality. Overall though, I'd say it has awesome quality

Value:
For all the features it has, plus the sound and the DSP, I'd be willing to pay quite a bit. Yeh, it was worth the price, even though it was a lot.

Desirability:
Boy, those lights really attract a buyer, not to mention the black color. Could you ask for more?

Sound:
The sound on this amp is great. It might not be a Fender, but this amp gives a clear powerful sound like no other. Furthermore, this amp will make any cheap guitar sound great. i'll admit there are probably amps with better sound, but this amp suits me just fine.

Overall:
Wow! Great amp! I love it for all the reasons listed above. I'm really glad I bought it. I hope it will last a long time. I don't think I will sell this amp for another one. It suits all my musical needs and probably passes them. If this product were lost or stolen I would buy it again unless a newer version came out. Then I would have to consider it. Anyway, GREAT amp for beginners to the advanced. Could you ask for more?
