Sound
It's been great for my needs. I use it for my acoustic playing, electric playing and bass guitar playing. I have effects boxes for each type of guitar so the flat response of this keyboard amp has worked well. It has not colored the sound. I use it for stage monitoring mostly although it has been used as sound reinforcement too. I also use it at home for practice.
Features
I love the 4 channels that give me plenty of options, the XLR I use for vocals, the built in DI for the sound board, and the pre-amp equalizer.
Quality
I've had it almost 4 years now. Carried it everywhere. Dropped it more than once. It is heavy though so I put wheels on it. I would like to see it lighter. I would like to see it wedged a bit like a monitor amp, or make it tiltable.
Value
Yes indeed.
Manufacturer Support
No experience here except the user manual was friendly.
