I bought this based on my experience with my Roland Micro Cube. I was looking for a powerful light weight SS amp w/ good tone for hauling around & this amp fits that need very nicely. It won't replace my tube amps but this is the best SS amp I have tried at this price.

Sound
This sound review is based on my tone interests which are 60's Rock, Blues, Jazz, & County. I've use a Gibson Standard LP, American Telecaster, MIM Standard Stratocaster w/ Kinman AV69 pups, & Ibanez Artcore AM73 & they all sound as good though this amp as they do though my HRD or my 59 Bassman RI. I use the default JC120 clean channel for chords & I have added the footswitch to change the channel for lead boost which is set to Tweed modeling. I add a modest level of reverb & little to no presence. The Tweed modeling tone is easily adjusted to taste with the gain setting. I have also be able to achieve some very convincing Acoustic modeling by adjusting treble/mid/bass levels which is better than the Micro Cube. The Classic or Modern Stack & Rectifier modeling offers some good OD rock tone but not something I would use very often. I give this a (7) because in my opinion an (8) would be like a Fender Tweed Bassman, (9) would be a VOX hand wired AC30 & (10) would be a Dumble. With company like this, my rating is actually intended to be very good.

Features
It has just about any feature you need & you can look them up the specs on the web. read more I like the modeling, effects, and the ability to control them with the footswitches. Also the tuner output jack so you don't have to have the tuner in your signal chain. This truly a nice guitar-cable-amp rig. You don't have to carry extra effects.

Quality
Very solid build quality.

Value
A lot of amp for the money.
