Feature:
No footswitch included, thats about the only gripe. Not an amp modeler, just a good solid amp, minimal effects. FX loop, CD input, line out, Speaker out and XLR line out give the ability to handle almost any size gig.

Quality:
solid. A little heave, but it is a 2x12 combo. mine has no blems, and its a nice looking box.

Value:
I looked at Marshalls, Fenders, Spiders and Crates, and I could find nothing to match the value/power/feature ratio of this one.

Desirability:
This amp is not sexy....its a basic solid combo. I dont buy for looks, but for sound. The layout is good. It has pretty lights. And it rocks.

Sound:
A great Clean channel, and a nice smooth and crunch lead channel. Seperate EQs and 6 sub modes allow a wide flavor of sounds. I use a GNX3 to process, so a nice stable amp to play through was essential. Only the Fender had a better clean, at 150 dollars more. And even on its own, i would gig with this in a minute.

Support:
Im giving them a guess. Ive never called on ti. 3 year warrenty tho.

Overall:
This amp should keep me going for years. I expect to be buried in it.

Feature:
The effects for the most part are useless. There is no adjusting the effect, it is what it is. The delay has 1 speed, chorus 1 modulation, etc. The Reverb is good. In general I see the effects as an extra rather than a selling point. It would be nice if the amp would have come with a footswitch for channel switching.

Quality:
The cabinet feels solid. All parts seem tight. The knobs are heavy, real metal, and move smoothly. The front grill/speaker cover seems slightly weak but has held up strongly over the past 8 months.

Value:
I think that in this price range this amp is an incredible deal. Easily worth more than other big name brand amps that for the same wattage and speaker size are much more expensive.

Desirability:
It has a basic classic look to it. They didn't try and make it "retro" or "space-age", which is good. The design is a good look and has good lights (cool dark blue), for power and channel selection.

Sound:
This amp is much warmer and more "tube-like" than I would have expected. It has 2 style options for overdrive/distortion. One being a bit thicker sounding like a good standard rock sound. The other a thinner fuzz like tone, comparable to a 60's sound (like The Who or garage rock. Lots of sound dispertion with 2-12" speakers and a loud 100 watts. Also a button that kicks the distortion up a BIG notch for a real metal sound.

Support:
Have had no problems with the amp but the customer service reps answer quickly if you have any questions and are helpful.

Overall:
A keeper. This combo has what it takes for medium sized gigs, recording and practice. With a few extra pedals to add some color to my sound, this amp could last a long time.

Feature:
The effects are OK, but not great. The reverb works fine and that's really the only one that matters.

Quality:
One of the volume nobs has a little static when you adjust it. Other than that, it's great.

Value:
Great amp. Worth more than it costs.

Desirability:
Like someone else said, it's classic looking, but not forced retro looking. I like the blue lights.

Sound:
I've had this amp for a year now and I can say that I genuinely like the sound of this amp more than the peavys and fenders I play in stores sometimes.

Support:
I've heard it's good, and so far, I don't need the support.

Overall:
Sometimes I think I might want another amp, but then I go play some and realize that this amp is just as good as anything else.
