"Good sound Great value"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
Sound
100 watts. Nice round tone. No tweeter so it sounds old school with nice sustain using my 77 Fender Jazz passive. Not as loud as I expected but otherwise a great practice amp. Put it in the corner of your bedroom and rattle some walls.
Features
I like the headphone, Cd/Line input and the ability to power an external 8 ohm speaker. Handle on the top so it's a little awkward to cary and I think it would be the first thing to break. Would have been nice to have a line out but for the price I can't complain.
Ease of Use
Pretty straight forward. input gain, bass , middle, treble, output and deep switch. Fairly easy to get the tone I'm looking for.
Quality
Looks well made. Packaged well. No buzzes yet.
Value
It's a well made product that is a great value after looking at the other 15's out there. Worth every penny, maybe more.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed it so I don't know.
The Wow Factor
It's black carpet covered with a metal screen. very sexy logo.
