Sound: It's actually not bad, just a tad fuzzy. At full volume in a small room, it could hurt your ears in the slightest degree. Feature: The tape/CD slot helped me use it as a PA for my mixer/turntables. I can play bass to my records. The vintage on the amp is useful, if you want distortion that is. I'd guess if you want to save money with this amp you wouldn't want to spend money on a distortion effect. I used the headphone jack about once. I can play my electric guitar with it as well. So it serves me well as my only amp but being the source of my guitar, bass, and mixer! Ease of Use: It's a simple amp, only wish it was easier to switch the vintage on/off while playing. Quality: I used this amp quite regularly, and under the beating it took with me it lasted a good 8 months before the imput jack stopped working, however i still use the tape/cd slot for my bass, guitar, and mixer! The sound is almost half and the vintage doesn't work, but hey all everything breaks eventually. Value: It's a cheap amp, but a good one to practice on, a good one to start out on. You get what you pay for with it. Now I'm at the point where I'm good enough, committed enough, and addicted enough to make an investment in a better amp. Manufacturer Support: Haven't dealt with them. The Wow Factor: When i first got it I was blown out of my mind, now i feel like its just another cheap amp. Overall: It's absolutely great for $60, considering the amount I've used it, several hours a day/each day for the past 8 months, i've even made a few songs recording with it. It gets the job done with a cheap price.

Overall: I keep this by the laptop so I can practice along. Like the other review said, the sound is fuzzy. Even turned all the up, it's not super loud. Not much bottom end with a 6 & 1/2 in speaker. The sound really isn't that great but you can tell if you're playing the right note or not. You could use it with an electric guitar too if you wanted. The vintage channel is pretty useless to me. It suits me fine for something lightweight to use for practice.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
