I expect I`ll be satisfied with it for a long time.If it does break down soon,then I`ll fix it myself,or get it fixed else where,and if it goes completely down,then I1ll look for another amp like this one,except maybe a little more power.Maybe!

No,there were no accessories with it except the carrying strap and the power adaptor,but thats because it`s used.All in all,it`s one awesome little amp. I get a charge out of it.I`ve never seen an amp like it before. It`s cute and rugged.

Ease of Use
It didn`t have a manual when I got it,but that`s ok,brcause it`s easy to use and modify the sounds I need.I use it with my lead guitar and my bass guitar,and I also plug my microphone in to for some more wonderful fun.
