Gibson GA5 Les Paul Junior Guitar Combo Amplifier (5 Watts, 1x8 in.)

Feature:
doesn't have many features. 2 channels, one regular, one with a 3 db pad. that's it. it does one thing and does it perfectly.

Quality:
can't find a fault.

Value:
not much amp for $600, but damn it sounds good

Desirability:
I bought it

Sound:
this is the most expressive amp i've ever played. If your into the old blues, this ones a winner. not the best for other types of music in general. the break up on it is just perfect. you won't be dissappointed. It's excels in recording situations, but isn't going to fill a bar with music on a busy noght let alone a stadium.

Ease of Use:
nothing to it, but to do it.

Support:
I have a few gibson guitars, one amp, and i've never had a problem yet.

Overall:
as long as you use it for what it was made for

Feature:
Truth be told features are not the high mark of this amp. It has 2 inputs (one direct and one with a 3dB pad) and a volume knob (don't forget the light bulb.. heh). That said, features are not the point of this amp. If you want 300 emullations of vintage and modern amps than this is definetly NOT your choice. If your on the hunt for YOUR Perfect tone, than you should definetly try this out. Hint: take your guitar into the store and plug it in. I've realised that the amp is VERY responsive to different guitars.. Fender Strats will sound one way.. Les Pauls another.. Ibanez another etc... And there's something else... definitely try out diferent volume settings on the guitar and amp.. the guitar tones will change VERY SIGNIFICANTLY.

Quality:
The amp is ROCK SOLID. Though I do love it too much to drop it on the floor as a stupid test. But I must admit I'd take it to gigs without breaking a sweat.

Value:
Are you kinding me? If you've spent hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars looking for an exellent sounding amp. Search no more. Check this out. I might not do your "thing".. thats fine.. but you will definitely apreciate the sound this box spits out!

Desirability:
What kinda question is this? "sex appeal"? "compelling appeal as an aesthetic or technical marvel"?

Sound:
Okay the sound coming out of this is unrivaled for its price range. Simple as that. I've placed mine side by side with a Fender Blues Junior and a Deluxe and I've got to admit that the sound out of this box was hands down the best.

Ease of Use:
A Volume knob.. nuff said.

Support:
I bought mine used and called in to Gibson to check some details and find a local service center take a look at it. I was promptly answered on the phone and any and all questions were answered emediatly and I got a hold of a service center near me in no time. the atendant was polite professional and proficient with the product. Congratulations Gibson.

Overall:
The Best Sounding amp in it's price rage bar none ! Simple as that.
