Feature:
The different combinations of sonds and effects you can get on this amp are like endless. I especially like the way you have different buttons that provide assorted sounds and tones. My favorite effect would probably be tremolo when you have it at a faster setting.

Quality:
i have had the amp for a while now, and i haven't had to tune it up or repair it at all. I don't expect anything to break any time soon, it looks very sturdy and well made.

Value:
I think it would a least be sold for about $130, because it has lots of effects. It would have been worth more probably if it had an effects level knob...

Desirability:
uuummmmmm, I don't know, i think it looks realy neat, and I like the color I guess.

Sound:
The sound is great. I think the sound is better than almost any other amp its size and price. The FX effects work very well, and it's pretty loud for its size. Also, the distortion sounds really good especially if you play some metal.

Ease of Use:
It took me about 2 minutes to figure out almost all of the settings on it. Mostly, what wasn't clear to me was that crunch did not mean higher distortion.(haha)

Support:
I...don't...know...at all. I didn't even had to contact line 6 for support sooo, ummm...yeah.

Overall:
hypothetically, if it were to break in some way, I would go with any very similar amp, cuz, the only way it would break, knowing me, is if I dropped it down the stairs or something, haha...

Style of Music: rock alternative punk hard rock classic rock

 

 
Feature:
has 6 effects which can only be used on other amps if you have pedals that can cost lots of money. has clean mode which is good for softer sounds.crunch for styles like classic rock. metal for metal. and the best of all it has the insane setting which ROCKS.

Quality:
its a line 6 amp. it has great quality.

Value:
you cant find anything better for 100 bucks

Sound:
I use this amp with an off brand strat style guitar and it makes even that sound good (the guitar is like 20 years old and sounds bad on every other amp except this one.)I hope to get a les paul soon.

Ease of Use:
took me like 5 minutes to figure out so it shouldnt take you any longer.

Support:
the amp was so good i never had to deal with them.

Feature:
I didnt even bother looking at all the features because the clean channel sucked so bad.

Quality:
I guess it looks durable enough. Its a nice looking amp for sure. Its pretty good size and has protected corners.

Value:
If you like metal this just might be the amp for you although even the insane channel is pretty weak in my book.

Desirability:
It does look nice..better looking than Vox amps although i'd rather have one that worked well, not looked sexy.

Sound:
The sound of this amp is decent, that is if you want to spend your entire time tweaking every little thing and not playing. Whenever you hit the clean channel button the tape echo kicks in and adds a sort of chorus to the sound. A pain in the ass if you just want to hit clean and go. This amp is not meant for blues or rock without crazy distortion.

Ease of Use:
Like i said, its a pain to tweak every little thing. It seems pretty straight forward but not very user friendly when you have to keep tweaking it.

Support:
Didnt use them so i cant say

Overall:
I'm going to replace this with a Vox or Fender.

Feature:
it really doesnt include andthing extra even though. i dont see why they didnt put in a line in/out cable.

Quality:
ive had it now for around 7 months and it has been through hell. i dropped it 4 times and still looks and sounds great. if ur clumsy like me this amp is rugged enough.

Value:
i think its worth more than $100 really great for traveling guitarist for beginers

Desirability:
its an amp..... shiny knobs though LOL

Sound:
this thing can go pretty loud for a 15w i love it the distortion on it sounds gr8

Ease of Use:
its an amp u press what chanel u want then crank it up

Support:
havent had 2 deal with them

Overall:
i thnk i will stick with this amp until im in a band and play guitar way better. after this i probaly want to move up to a half stack (either marshal or blackheart)

Feature:
Phaser, Chorus, Echo, Clean, Distortion at the push of a button or a twist of a knob, how can you beat that? Has way more than what most practice amps have, but that's a good thing.

Quality:
The amp is sturdy. No lose screws or ends. Remember that this is a practice amp! Obviously not made for gigs!

Value:
For $100, you can't beat it. Some tone geeks may like other brands, but how many of those amps have all the effects? This was worth every penny that I spent on it.

Sound:
You can't beat the tone and effects that are on this amp. For the size that this amp is, it is LOUD! The chorus mixed in with the clean sounds amazing and I actually like using it more than the standard clean. For distortion, I always put it to Insane for my drop C tuning. I tried many different practice amps before settling on this one.

Ease of Use:
You will have to read the instruction manual or toy around with it to get certain settings to work (i.e. clean mode without chorus).

Overall:
I won't be searching for another practice amp. There's no need to when I have everything I want without all the extra cables. If anything were to happen to this amp I would definitely purchase another one. The only flaw is that you have to get used to twisting knobs to turn effects off. But other than that, I have no complaints about it.

Feature:
It came with a cabel but it was very short, and it is easy to move short distanses

Quality:
an ok amp pretty tough

haven't needed it

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
This amp is somewhat of a paradox. The 4 operating modes are primarily for rock and metal, no blues channel for example - you have to go to the 75 watt amp for that. On the other hand, for $10 more than a distortion pedal, you get a little amplifier with distortion, some overdrive, and a few effects like reverb and delay. These functions work fine with my Les Paul, but not so good for my Epi Casino, and the Les Paul still sounds better on the fender. But then again, for $99, $10 - $20 more than a pedal, you get a little amp for rock music, but not a full functioning combo amp.

Quality:
Too soon to tell, but it seems to be well made. No problems yet.

Value:
As noted above, great value for the money compared to a pedal. But I only paid about $30 more for a fender dsp on sale, and it is clearer and much more versatile.

Desirability:
This is not my only amp; I bought it because they were out of fender DSPs, it was dirt cheap, and I wanted to try out Line 6 (I've always had fenders, going back to the sixties). So I can't I say "I want it", but someone starting out to play metal might find this very desirable for the money.

Sound:
Good metal sounds, but compared to my fender dsp amp, the clear channel is not so clear, and with a distortion pedal, the fender blows this away.

Ease of Use:
The 4 pre-sets have pre-set volumes, so everytime you change modes, you have to adjust the volume too. You can re-program these, but the volume is still fixed at whatever you program it at. And there's no facility for a footswitch.

Support:
N/A - Haven't needed any yet

Overall:
I might return this and get the 75W version, which has a blues channel and the digital pre-sets, or the similar Vox amp, which is about $50 cheaper than the 75W Line 6. Also, the fender fm65dsp comes with a dual footswitch (included), but I didn't want to spend $299 at this time, although the dual footswitch might justify doing so, since some of these foot switches cost $99 individually.
