9 out of 10
Feature:
10 inch speaker sounds better than most practice amps with 6 or 8 inch speakers. That was a big selling point for me. Sounds ok as a bass practice amp too. The reverb is what sold me on this amp. You won't find reverb on many amps for this price. 3 band EQ is better than most amps with a single Tone knob. Gain channel sounds great. I wish it had separate clean and gain input jacks.
Quality:
For the money, I'd say the quality is great. It looks like it will take a licking and keep on ticking. I've had it for a month and no problems.
Value:
This amp blows away most other practice amps under $100. If you play a Strat or Tele, this amp is a good choice. Good for rock and blues, but maybe not for metal.
Desirability:
I couldn't afford the Frontman 212R, so this amp looked like a less expensive alternative. It looks good, but I think I'd like a black grill cloth better. Distortion and reverb are good features, but no digital features.
Sound:
Sounds great with my MIM Standard Tele. Gain channel gets good distortion with very little hum from the factory single coil pickups. I don't use the clean channel much, but it sounds very good. Reverb sounds good. Louder than I'll ever need for a practice amp. Sounds good with a wireless Karaoke mike too.
Ease of Use:
Very simple and easy to use. Not too heavy to lug around either.
Support:
Never had to use it for the amp, but email support for my Tele seems pretty good. They usually answer my emails within 2 days.
Overall:
I'll probably keep this amp until it dies. I expect it will last for years. It's a great amp for home or garage band use. I see no need to replace it, except to get another amp with more power for gigs. Also I might get a separate amp for my bass. For more features, I'll just get some stomp box pedals. If it was lost or stolen, I'd probably get another one, unless I had enough money for the Frontman 212R.

Feature:
I'm not really into many features so this has MOSTLY what I needed.
Quality:
It's made well, solid as a rock.
Desirability:
Looks pretty nice compared to others. Amplifiers don't exactly look good in my opinion but this aint bad.
Sound:
The sound is pretty good, clean or distortion. However, it has some trouble with higher frequencies. Also buzzing is common. Sometimes it is soft, other times it is loud and very annoying.
Ease of Use:
It was easy to find the sound I wanted cause there weren't a million switches and they were very simple.
Overall:
This is pretty average, not really good but not bad either. I recommend this for beginners. I bought this as a beginner and lasted a few years but then went on to search for a new amp.
