Sound
it is a very good practice amp. Better than a few others I have played or owned. Suprising low end sound for an 8". I wish I would have got this one first...
Features
Great features...I didnt realize it had an imput for both an active and passive bass. The backside has hook ups for effects/pedals. Not that I even use effects on the bass, but at least it has that and I could plug right into a studio board with this amp. THE ONLY REASON I DIDNT GIVE IT A NINE or ten is the MP3 hook up is not just a line in it is a Y-cable that has a cd (red/white) av cord with a plug into the MP3. But you can buy one on Amazon for $4. So I guess I dont have to keep borrowing the one from my little iPod Stereo. Love the tilt back feature.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use...self explanitory.
Quality
Seems to be made very well.
Value
Very good value at under $100, my opinion is that it is better than the Fender and Line 6 $100 combo amps.
Manufacturer Support
not really applicable. But ZZ Sounds sent me several emails on the tracking. Good job to keep track of when my stuff would arrive
The Wow Factor
wanted to have an ampeg and this is a good start.
