Ok, let's face it - your not going to play a concert hall with a $70 amp - but this amp will have you thinking about it. I've got about every gadget a guitar player or keyboard player could ask for and this thing is by far the best value of them all. I played with it for three hours after I pulled it out of the box. I have played everything I own through it and it handles it all surprizingly well - acoustic, electric, keyboard - even bass, but not as well. Everything sounds clean at volumes that stand up to an un-amplified Drum Kit (don't forget we're talking about a $70 amp here!) The first thing you notice is that it's built like tank and has the classy signature "Marshall" look that every high school guitar player dreams of owning. Then you plug it in and with the first pluck notice that this is not your average portable guitar amp. The clean setting is crisp at very high volumes and the distortion setting has a bassy quality that rivals much larger amps. I can play just about any style of music with it and be happy with the sound. You could probably use it for a gig in a medium sized room or church. Ok, Enough Hype: This is truly a great value. It features a single input with a switch to select between clean and distortion. It has a really neat "CD input" jack that allows you to play along with anything that has a line-level output (including a keyboard or sound module). This is carried through to the headphone port, along with an emulated speaker signal so you can listen… read more with full guitar fuzz. Four knobs allow you to control Volume, Distortion/Gain and Tone. These level controls are very clean - they don't suffer from the adjustment noise that plaque many amps in this price range. Best of all the sound is all "Marshall" - they really hit a homerun with this one. If you play electric guitar, get one of these NOW before Marshall decides to start selling them for what their truly worth - a lot more.
