Feature:
Nice little special effects section here. It's a pretty simple set up so I can't say much about the features...plus it's not something I really pay attention to.

Quality:
I don't own it. For sitting in a music store fiddling around, the darn thing had better hold up! Knobs didn't jiggle like a Crate and it felt well built.

Value:
Wow! I wouldn't believe the tone for the price. I'm getting one SOON!

Desirability:
Great looks and sounds just as good. Straight forward nice amp for those who require great vintage tone.

Sound:
Played this at a local shop. I didn't think Epiphone would make a nice amp because they're a less expensive option but WOW! They proved me wrong. This is a great little amp. I'm very picky about tone and I played an artcore thru this little beast and fell in love. If you need more crunch just use a Tube Screamer or something.

Ease of Use:
This amp sounds good right away. I didn't have to search around for the right settings. No wasted time.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Don't own it but for a "tone" amp (not necessarily power) it'll do the trick for recording and small gigs.

Feature:
I rarely use the built in effects, preferring to use my Digitech RP250 when I want to alter the sound. Most of the time though it's crank up the Gain and dial in a bit of reverb and rock out.

Quality:
I've had no issues with the build quality of this amp. I've heard others report that their Standard is noisy but this is nice and quiet.

Value:
It's a lot of amp for the money. True tube sound. Only a spring reverb would improve it.

Desirability:
I love the vintage look of this amp the tan accents and grill cloth.

Sound:
I've owned this amp for over a year and it's starting to wear in. Initially the Celestion Seventy-80 speaker was a bit farty, but as I play it, it seems to smooth out. I play an SG with P90's through it as well as a Les Paul and really like the sound. It's quite Bluesy in tone. Nice and Dark

Ease of Use:
It's got a great Blues tone which was what I was after. I just plug in and fire it up then play. No issues, no mucking about trying to find the sound, it's just right there.

Support:
I had a few questions when I first got it, the folks at Epiphone were most helpful. Response to my email was prompt and accurate.

Overall:
This amp serves my needs. With 15 watts of tube power it can get loud when I need it to, yet I can also get great sound at small room volumes.
