Feature:
Beautiful complement of features. Well thought out. The meter is useless but if you're into how your amp looks, it's a nice visual touch.
Quality:
Damned heavy amp, appears to be built like a tank. No rattles.
Value:
No way would you get anything even close to this for the money. Take a look at a $300 Marshall amp if you doubt it. This amp's construction reminds me of my old Twin Reverb. It weighs as much as an outboard motor and will probably survive a fall off the back of the truck.
Sound:
Overall the sound is clean and crisp. Distortion only occurs if you really bang on the instrument or turn up the input gain too high. At higher volume levels the feedback controls are very useful, but the notch filters could use some width control as they tend to dampen the overall sound. Still, for the money, it's hard to argue. Sounds remarkably similar to a competing amp costing $800.
Ease of Use:
Excellent interface, easy to operate, didn't need to consult the manual to do anything, it's all in your face -- as it should be.
Support:
Asked one question via email, got an immediate reply, based on my limited experience I'd have to characterize their support as very responsive and friendly.
Overall:
Very satisfied, I bought the amp used for $175 and I could not touch the sound, construction, or feature set for anything less than 4-5 times the price. Apparently, slave labor equals low retail.
