"Its creator made it to be what it meant to be..."

Feature:
Reasonable, no frills... I use it with an mp3 player to practice, quite surprised that the tone is pretty balanced for a tiny speaker. It even gives out stereo sound if plug in with stereo input.

Quality:
Quite well built for a tiny guy... My only concern is that its made in indonesia...how's the built quality like? No idea...but I heard good Yamaha pianos are made in indonesia...i guess quality is in the brand name?

Value:
I got this from a local music store for $58...what more can I ask for?

Desirability:
Its basic...simple yet practical for people like me.

Sound:
This is an accoustic guitar amp...so for that department it meets its requirements. But trying to play with distortion may blow it a little too hard. Quit well balanced speaker.

Ease of Use:
I like it! Its light, battery powered...i can bring it to friends party/church outing and stuff like that...great outdoor tool!

Support:
To be quite honest I've don't have any complaints to them yet!

Overall:
As long as it works...I need something portable which I can store easily in my tiny room, I can't afford to fill up my room with huge amps!

"A great portable/all purpose amp."

Feature:
Its pr5etty basic, but everything works. Plus, its small, light, and build well. I especially like the 1/4" tripod socket on the bottom -- works with any standard camera tripod! Having a line out -- even if it is mono -- is also a nice feature. I haven't had it long enough to know how long batteries last.

Quality:
I get the sense you could drop it down a flight of stairs and it'd be fine.

Sound:
Its not terribly loud, but the two speakers are definitely an improvement on others (e.g. Pignose).

Support:
N/A
