the only thing I would ever replace this with is a TB100R Just to get the extra wattage. I don't expect this to ever wear out. I remeber being in the store staring at brand new 30 watt amps for the same price I paid for this and I turned on the other ones and played em (most being Crate) and then I turned on this and IMMEDIATELY wanted it. My wife was with me and she wasn't too sure I should buy it from just look at it but when I turned it on she said you have to get this one. It is way better. And I sincerely agree.

Sound
This has good sound. Don't let the others below who said it was bad fool you. They obviously know nothing about tone. This has excellent clean channel with a excellent distorted channel. When it is distorted you can hear every note picked which makes it sound a lot cleaner. Definately better than a Crate stacks right up against a Fender, Washburn or Line 6 and I've owned all of them before.

Features
The features are pretty basic but I was looking for a basic amp that didn't have tones of DSP effects that just sucked and that I would never use. This would be an excellent amp with a processor or effects pedals. The equalizer features for both channels rock there are the same amount for both channels which is something most people should look for. This makes you capable of setting a nice bassy clean sound and then a nice bright distorted sound without having to switch equalizer settings each time… read more you change channels.

Ease of Use
Very easy to use

Quality
Good quality. Nothing has every broken on it and has a very sturdy constuction to it. You will be able to tell when you pick it up. The quality of the sound and everything else is great. Anyone who says this amp sounds bad they just have very crappy pickups in their guitar and just blame it on the amp. Buy a seymour duncan or Lawrence pickups and your good to go.

Value
Good value. I didn't buy it new I bought it used from a music store. cost me only $150 so I feel very lucky.

Manufacturer Support
Never needed it and dont expect I ever will.

The Wow Factor
It's got good professional look to it. Reminds me a lot of a Fender amp.
