Feature:
I give it a high rating here because it is so versatile. You can do anything you want with it really. So many different options. The direct recording is unbelievably easy to set up and use. It sounds really good with the USB direct input recording. Makes things so easy.

Quality:
Quite dependable. No real qualms about the quality of the amp. Probably could gig with it if you wanted, but I have not tried.

Value:
Can not get a better, or more versatile amp for $299. You really can not.

Desirability:
It looks nice, and the "light show" it does is pretty cool to watch when the amp gets bored.

Sound:
It sounds great. A wide variety of stompboxes, amp models, and rack effects to choose from. You can get pretty much any tone you are looking for with this amp. Whether it's blues, classic rock, heavy metal, and anything in between.

Ease of Use:
It isn't real difficult to use, but it is a bit tricky. Only at first though. After a day or two with it, and after reading the manual, you should figure things out pretty easily.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them, so no opinion.

Overall:
Overall, the amp really is awesome. You can spend hours upon hours just tinkering with the effects and tweaking them, as well as all the other settings. A good amp for intermediate, and maybe even sort of advanced players. Will last a long time and do the job. If it were lost or stolen I'd definitely buy another one ASAP. I just wish the Sanpera footswitch was included, but you can buy it separate. It unlocks the true potential of the amp, unlocking the looper function, increasing the presets from 12 to 400, it has 2 expression pedals, and more. Definitely getting it soon. With this amp, and the Sanpera...you can do anything.

Feature:
What can I say just look up this amp and read all the features for yourself. This one has all that I need and many more that I may not ever, but good to know they are there anyway.

Quality:
Seems well made, I really have not had mine long enough to give it a bad review. Based on Peavey's reputation on making quality amps I am sure this will live up to their reputation.

Sound:
Sounds as close to a tube amp as I have ever heard. Those who say that they cannot get a certian sound...any sound out of this amp are either:lying, paid by another amp maker to bash this amp or have not spent the 10 to 15 min, without a manual to figure out how to adjust the settings on it. This is a distortion amp that also sounds great clean. If you only want a clean sound then always Fender is the way to go. This will give you any sound you want from clean to death metal and all between and without any extra pedals or effects. I do suggest that you get a quality cable and play with at least a decent axe though. Also, I have owned a Line 6 in both spider 2 and 3 models and the Peavey Vypyr blows them both away. LIne 6 is a great amp but Peavey Vypyr are just better sounding in any range from clean to death meatal.

Ease of Use:
I rate this amp only a 9 because maybe a beginner who has never had an amp and used external effects with it might have some trouble. I really think that the learning curve with this one equalls any Line 6 Spider 3. Really just read the owners manual and play with it for 10 to 15 minutes and you can find about the sound you want. After playing with all the settings on this for a few days you will find that you can really dial in any sound you want.

Support:
Do not know... I have had no problems with mine so never have tried to call Peavey about anything, Ever...

Feature:
What really puts this combo over the top, and in a class by itself, is the power sponge. I can overdrive the amp to perfection at extremely low decibals. Peavey has truly raised the bar with this offering and its everything their marketing guys are claiming.

Quality:
I can't believe how light the whole unit is, its very easy to carry around. The only thing they could do to make it better is to angle the control panel upward so its easier to read and adjust. Like with just about every other combo amp on the market I have to practically get down on my hands and knees to work with it.

Value:
Hell yeah its worth the price, I am almost feeling guilty, like I stole something.

Sound:
I don't know what the electronics geniuses at Peavey did but this unit sounds great. I am especially impressed with the two cabinet settings for the Joe Satriani emulations. The speaker is incredible delivering rich satin tones that have none of the static or popping sounds that seem common among speakers such as celestion and other top speakers. This one is more like the high end sounds you would get from an outta the average budget Bose.

Ease of Use:
Like with anything these days it is taking a little time to figure out how everything works but they did a really good setting things up in a logical way. I really like how they set up the stomp boxes, then the cabinets and then the "rack" effects according to how they would be hooked in seperate modules ... it just makes sense. The feedback you get from the lights really helps ... they are intuitive and logical. However, it is still a very complicated array of features that will give fits to anyone that has trouble remembering if their socks or shoes go one first, but like the manual says, if you can't figure out where to plug in the guitar you should probably invest in a set of drums.

Overall:
I don't expect I will ever need to buy another combo amplifier.
