I love the versatility, and have already bought a second one just in case something were to happen to this one. I don't want to NOT have one available to me. If there is anything better on the market, I havn't found it.
Sound
For a small cary around practice amp, this can't be beat. The sounds are GREAT, and I can now I'm not stuck with acoustic guitar only, when sitting around outside with friends playing and singing. The battery life is better than expected, so even in the middle of nowhere, I can still have great sounds available to me!
Features
Everything you need is built in. The Reverb and Delay are a little weak, but they didn't need to offer them in the first place, and besides, with the sounds you get from this amp, you will only need a little if any. The power supply, [although large] is built well, and designed well. It is in the middle of the cable, so ot doesn't block any spots on a wall plug, or a power strip.
Ease of Use
Just turn it on and start! Reading the manual is helpful, but not necessary. It's just that simple!
Quality
It seems sturdy. I am very gentle with my equipment, but I think it would be very forgiving if you transported alot.
Value
Worth every penny! Great bang for your buck.
Manufacturer Support
I have only called Line 6 to tell them how much I think they "Got It Right". And their website is great and full of info!
The Wow Factor
It's just right the way it is.
