"very good amp for a very good price"

Feature:
eq switching makes it very flexible and if you got a pedal you can switch between clean and drive channel while playin or turn reverb on and of just simple like it has to be just find your sound and leave it alone 15 and 30 watt switch is also pretty handy but i don't realy use it

Quality:
so far very good two speaker wich our considring the price very good it's heavy but it's a full tube amp so that's pretty normal

Value:
excellent

Desirability:
very nice design vintage like

Sound:
the clean channel is very warm drive channel really can make your sound dirty and alot of bass (compared to a vox) the reverb is very good the amp is just good (for the price it's really good) i also have a vox ac15 and i like the sound of this amp more but if you really want a rock near metal sound you have buy a good dis. pedal

Ease of Use:
simple as can be

Support:
?

Overall:
if you buy it you won't regret it if play rock, blues even jazz this amp is for you metal maybe not but then again with a good pedal you probaly get decent sound out of it as well (i play some heavy stuff to and it does get the place moving) just check it out

8 out of 10

Feature:
For the price, the features are fine. I wish it had an effects loop. The interactive EQ setting is unique and makes this amp extremely versatile. Being able to switch from Class A 15W to Class AB 30W is great.

Quality:
This amp is built very well. I wish it had shipped with a proper 14 AWG power cable but a trip to a computer flea market solved that. The tubes are well protected and the grill on the back protects the speakers and tubes from stray objects.

Value:
This is where this amp really shines. It doesn't have all the bells or whistles of other amps, but it costs considerably less. It compares most closely with Fender Hot Rods but has tone at much lower volumes. You have to go deaf before you get tone from a Fender Hot Rod.

Desirability:
It is a very nice looking amp. It might not look at home on a death metal stage but it looks the part of a blues amp.

Sound:
Off the shelf, the amp sounded very harsh. A proper break in allowed it to open up a bit. Some of these amps ship with Sovtek tubes, others (later models) with more musical tubes. I have the Sovteks and they have been replaced with Tungsol 5881 reissues for the power stage and Tungsol 12ax7s in the pre amp. The sound has warmed up considerably and the true tube dynamics really come out. It cost me under $150 for new tubes and was well worth it. The new tubes also drastically improved the sound of single coils.

Ease of Use:
Its an amp, how hard could it be? The manual could have described how the interactive-independent affected the EQ. Like with any piece of musical equipment, the more time you spend with it, the more comfortable you'll be dialing in your tone.

Support:
Epiphone has provided me with everything I needed. I have also been able to contact the designer of the amp.

Overall:
I am very happy with this amp.
