Feature:
This amp has an unbelievable feature set. 11 different drive types, switchable bewteen vintage and standard sounds for a total of 22 drives. Each of these drives can be easily modified using the 3 band EQ and stored for custom patches. The amp also has a built in Tuner! Additionally, the amp has 30 built-in preset "patches" like "wild fuzz", "clean lead" and "m-stack". In addition the amp has several built-in effects, like chorus, flanger and auto-wah. Lastly, the amp has built-in delay/reverb functionality. The features on this amp provide endless possibilities for exploring and finding your sound.
Quality:
I haven't had any problems with this amp. Again, I use it for practice only. The reason I only rated it an 8 is because I'm pretty sure that Zoom had to cut some corners to keep the price of this amp below $300. The comparable Line-6 amp with a less extensive feature set sells for $100 more. I would expect to pay much more for an amp with a feature set like this Zoom. It's a great buy...
Value:
Once again, the unbelievable feature set and the nice sounds make this amp an incredible value. Perfect for a beginner, or as a practice amp.
Desirability:
Admittedly, this amp isn't as cool looking as a Marshall, or Fender. But, the feature set and built-in effects make this a very desirable product.
Sound:
I recently purchased my first guitar with this amp. Although I have nothing to compare it to, I am satisfied with the sounds I get out of this amp. I use it strictly for practice.
Support:
Haven't had to deal with them.
Overall:
I have owned this amp for 2 months and have been completely satisfied with it. I still haven't explored all the possibilities with this amp.

Feature:
I've tried a lot of amps with built-in effects. This amp is by far the EASIEST to use. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because you can only get one or two effects at a time. Compared to Marshall, Peavey, Crate, etc, it is WAY easier---mostly because you don't need a magnifying glass on-stage to change settings in the dark!! The built-in tuner is outstanding.
Quality:
So far (1 year), no problems. Designed in Japan, built in China, sold in America. Nice fit & finish. I have a metal input jack--never had the problem others have mentioned.
Value:
Very happy with it and recommend it to others.
Desirability:
Already done.
Sound:
I bought this amp as my first practice amp. The price was a major factor (lowest price for the most features), but what really sold me was the versatility and quality of the sound. I was amazed that a little amp with only a 10-inch speaker could get so much bottom.
However, a caveat: While it does model a zillion amps, I only use two of them on a regular basis. Clean (with chorus and compressor), and Fuzz (with chorus and compressor). Additionally, it sounds MUCH better with the "Power Damp" switch IN, and the master volume up. I don't actually care for the other settings much (although metal is pretty good), as they sound cheap and tinny.
Support:
N/A
Overall:
I wish they made it with a 12-inch speaker, or a companion extension cabinet with a 12 (or 2 twelves).
