"GREAT, VERSATILE AMP!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Overall, the amp really is awesome. You can spend hours upon hours just tinkering with the effects and tweaking them, as well as all the other settings. A good amp for intermediate, and maybe even sort of advanced players. Will last a long time and do the job. If it were lost or stolen I'd definitely buy another one ASAP. I just wish the Sanpera footswitch was included, but you can buy it separate. It unlocks the true potential of the amp, unlocking the looper function, increasing the presets from 12 to 400, it has 2 expression pedals, and more. Definitely getting it soon. With this amp, and the Sanpera...you can do anything.

Sound
It sounds great. A wide variety of stompboxes, amp models, and rack effects to choose from. You can get pretty much any tone you are looking for with this amp. Whether it's blues, classic rock, heavy metal, and anything in between.

Features
I give it a high rating here because it is so versatile. You can do anything you want with it really. So many different options. The direct recording is unbelievably easy to set up and use. It sounds really good with the USB direct input recording. Makes things so easy.

Ease of Use
It isn't real difficult to use, but it is a bit tricky. Only at first though. After a day or two with it, and after reading the manual, you should figure things out pretty easily.

Quality
Quite dependable. read more No real qualms about the quality of the amp. Probably could gig with it if you wanted, but I have not tried.

Value
Can not get a better, or more versatile amp for $299. You really can not.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with them, so no opinion.

The Wow Factor
It looks nice, and the "light show" it does is pretty cool to watch when the amp gets bored.
