Sound
Great amp. Purchased mine from a pawn shop,had to buy guitar to get amp.Used it that night with a live gig onstage & blew the boys away. Didnt even mic it. Turned the speaker towards ceiling & had to turn down to below halfway. Bass player was using 250 watt Peavey, guitar wa using Fender twin reverb,& they were all lined thru a 16 channel Yamaha board. I flew solo & loved it. I also own a 60 watt Roland Bass cube (1985). Love it. I have a Crate acoustic amp, Peavey, & Crate 1200glx half stack. However, this is light weight for us old folks! & gets the job done. Great value. Wished it had line-out & foot switch & it would be perfect. Been playing 40+ years & so glad to go small & get the quality. Keep Jamming! Michael Draughn & the Pawn Shop Band Reidsville, N.C. 1/25/11

Features
Effects great . Cant buy them seperately for that! Go from straight clean to THrasher metal if you need to.

Ease of Use
Didnt have a manuel. Took only a few minutes to figure it out.

Quality
Based on my 1985 60 watt roland cube, If they put the quality in this one that they put in the older version, you will want to keep it for life..

Value
Great Would buy one & keep in truck for use and backup @ any pro gig.

The Wow Factor
Cool look. Can always build fake cabinets for it, read more to make it look bigger,etc. But everything is going small now & getting the power from the pa. Not like the old days, when you had to have a stack to ply. Ever notice all us old musicians are deaf???!!

Musical Background:
40+ years bluegrass, blues, rock,metal, gospel, beach,etc
