"Way too soon to already be looking for an upgrade"

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I used to love this amp. that is when I was practicing at home by myself. The first time I when to a band practice with guys with decent equipment I was completely drowned out. After being forced to turn up the volume all the speakers in the cab blew. Its billed as a gigging amp for small venues but really its more of an oversized practice amp.
Sound
Not the most characteristic sound, but definitely solid and workable.
Features
Graphic really enables some decent tone shaping
Quality
Blew the all speakers the first time i pushed it to anything like gig volume
Value
Its good value for money, though if you looking for some to gig with on a budget, you'd be much better going for something bigger
