zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
I like that this already has a headphone line output. Sounds great with headphones. It has separate gain/ master volume knobs which is nice in an amp this size and an easy to read digital display.

Quality:
I haven't had this long enough to know how long it will last. The construction is rather stout tho, but i would not go tipping it over. The switches are of good construction in my view, not flimsy, and they lock on well.

Value:
i feel this is a great great value for the money, especially if you don't wanna spend much or can't spend much.. whatever.. its worth the money.

Desirability:
This had high appeal for me versus the other brands when I read how many models it offered. It is sick. Good by multi effects box!

Sound:
I feel the sound this amp produces rivals that of higher priced models. I have owned mostly Fender and Crate and Marshall. For a portable amp of this size, you can have those sounds all rolled into one. The presets and the ones you come up with are really good. I found my sweet spot and love it. The tube sound is really awesome. I was and am impressed everytime I play. I use it with my stratocaster, my steinberger, and washburn idol guitar. It really brings out the character of your guitar too.

Ease of Use:
I feel this is relatively intuitive to use. Programming will take some reading tho, but you can pretty much plug and play this thing right out of the box.

Support:
don't know.. haven't contacted them.

Overall:
I feel this unit is a good good practice amp. I feel overall its a 7 only because of a couple of things I wish were better, like the delay effect which could use more variations in time and overlap. Furthermore the size of the speaker unit seems a bit oversized becaue there seems to be wasted space in the box. I feel they could have put a 10" in there instead of an 8". You'll probly notice this right away.
