Feature:
Nothing standing out here but hey its a practice amp. Low, Mid, and High controls as well as Master volume which is really the same volume from about 6-10 on the volume dial.

Quality:
Very well made. Hard plastic corner covers...all solid state electronics...metal grill...with classic Peavy logo...very sturdy. Speaker is clear on highs fuzzes at high volume on the low B string but hey your talking a 8' speaker....Buy up if you have a problem.

Value:
for the price its good. but you might as well spend an extra 75 to get a practice amp that you can be heard when jamming.

Desirability:
this is not sexy whatsoever...go holla at something more appealling like a stack

Sound:
First this is a 8' amp...So you shouldnt expect a whole lot of boom. However i practiced with amp with much suprise of a 8' speaker. I like to lock in on tone and the Micro-bass does good on tone. I play a Squire MB-5 and it handles the low B very well. It wont shake the room whatsoever and I was just practicing with my drummer and I could be heard but was hard pressed for more sound. I pretty much got this because I had no other amp...But it has quality on a 8' speaker which to me is really unheard of. Only for practice, Im looking to upgrade as soon as possibile. I need more sound TODAY!!!

Support:
Bought this from Hot Licks Guitars in Waldorf, Md. USA..I love that store its like a warehouse for you musical needs. Check them out at www.hotlicks.com they have great customer service. If I had problems Id run down and get it resolved quickly

Overall:
Its simply not loud enough. However I didnt buy it to be heard I needed an amp any amp maybe your amp. But my point is its a quality amp that you can afford and will last a long time.
