"Good stuff for the price."

Feature:
The footswitch is great. The reverb is okay. No effects. That could be good or bad depending on if you use them or not.

Quality:
Everything works great so far.

Value:
This is a great deal. Very low price for a lot of power.

Desirability:
Doesn't look very cool. But its not ugly.

Sound:
The sound is good. For example, the rhythm channel is great for punk and the solo channel is great for metal. Personally, I like the sound of my stompbox better, but the distortion is decent. Add some reverb to the solo channel and set your guitar's three way switch to 1 (neck PU only) and you will be amazed by the sound. The clean channel is really the reason why I got this. The preamps make it sound very nice. Not too crisp but not too warm.

Support:
Haven't had to contact them.

Overall:
Great amp for the price. Good solid state. I'd rather have a loud tube head, but seeing how expensive they are, I will settle for this.

Value:
i would pay 10 times more if it would be needed to pay, because the quality is the best!!!

before i owned this head, i didn't know how good my guitar can sound! it makes a BRILLIANT sound!

Ease of Use:
only thing you have to do when its unpacked is to connect it with wires to cabinet! it can be done within 30 sec!

Overall:
if it will be broken one day, id buy 2 more, if only it would go down again
