Is it a fancy PA system? Could you actually use this to gig with a full band? Not really That being said though it works great for what it is. 4 channels, FX aren't anything to get excited but sounds better than a dry signal. Like 80 watts RMS but to use in your basement to practice and only running vocals or a keyboard/acoustic through it? Works great! I threw a cheap $99 8 channel mixer in front of it using the head as just an amp and it actually works pretty well for practice.
Sound
Sound is fine. Speakers are what they are. at lower volumes they sound decent. Biggest improvement to the sound was to use a non powered mixer in front of this with decent pre-amps. Behringer has some decent options from 80-100 that really make this a much more viable option for practice.
Features
Nice that is has FX even if they aren't great. SD card reader? Don't know what's that's in there at all. but headphone jack and other audio outs come in handy from time to time. Dual XLR-1/4 is nice.
Ease of Use
Plug and play man. Can't really screw it up.
Quality
Lower grade electronics of course but you get what you pay for. speakers and head seem to be built like bricks. The speaker cables that come with it are actually shielded which was a surprise. Other ones i've seen have the chinciest cables.
Value
Yes.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to deal with Alesis.
The Wow Factor
Would double as an okay monitor set up off a bigger system for small gigs if you needed it to.
