Feature:
All the knobs I need.

Quality:
Nice Plywood Cabinet. Great looks.

Value:
Class A tube Power at this Price.WOW!

Desirability:
This Is What I Have been looking For. Sounds great thru a Marshall 4/12 Cab too.

Sound:
This Amp has that sweet voilin like tube sustain that I have been seeking for years. Now, if You are a metal Head, You Most likely will not like the sweet even harmonics that this Amp produces . I am a seasoned Player of 30 Plus Years experience and have owned Marshall Amps ( plexi, Silver series,800 etc.)Fender Amps (Vibroverb Non Repro,Bandmaster,Bassman,Twin)and a host of other classic amps. This Amp can be dialed in nicely as is, Cleaned and brightened with a simple tube change. Also there are all ready a host of Mods that work great all ready being posted on the Web. I give this Amp a 10 because the Price and sound possiblities Make it Deal of the Decade material.Add a tube screamer or Your favorite distortion pedal and spend some time in Heaven.

Ease of Use:
Easy volume Knob Guitar controll.

Support:
Quick schematic, Nice reps.

Overall:
I would Replace this Amp in a heart beat if stolen. As a matter of fact I bought Two just in case. And they sound great in a stereo setup.

Feature:
Standard features found aon almost all tube amps..nothing special

Quality:
Poor...made in Vietnam and judgeing by this amo they are still holding a grudge

Value:
Not avery good value foe the money, If you want a nice tube amp get a blues junior by Fender...Less money and a LOT more amp

Desirability:
Not a ver good amp for blues or jazz...distortion is shrill..you can do much better if you're looking for a clean warm or bluesy tone with the less expensive Chanp XD or the blues junior both by Fender

Sound:
a little on the shrill side, doesn't have your typical tube warmth...hard to geta good clean sound out of it

Ease of Use:
Plug n play...hust make sure your guitar is hooked up before you turn it on

Support:
Good luck getting thru to Crate

Overall:
I didn't care for this amp..played it for about an hour my driend had ordered it an dhe ended up sending it back
