Sound
It is, for the money, the best sounding amp I've found. The clean is great, blues sounds like blues, and from there it starts getting wild! It sounds great low but I have found I have to tweak it a little, like most amps, when I get up to club level. I'm not sure I'll buy another amp!!
Features
The music tracks are really great for practice and they include a wide variety which gives me a lot to work with at any given time.
Ease of Use
I used it for a month before I really got into some of the "finer features".
Quality
It seems well made. Nice fit and finish with no problems.
Value
The value is there.
Manufacturer Support
I've not needed anything other than the online support which has answered all my questions.
The Wow Factor
If you want a true practice amp that you can also gig with - this is it.
