"Not worth more than $50"

Overall: 1 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
The fun of the effects wears off quickly.
Sound
It has a semi decent clean cannel, thouh it isnt loud enough for 15 watts and is distorted. and the distortion channel, lets just say it is chaos,(awful sound, too loud, unrealistic). basically it couldn't be used in any style of music. the effects are great though.
Features
The digital effects were great, but the clean tone was raspy and the distortion needed much more work.
Quality
Seems unbreakable
Value
only good for extremely quiet clean play.
Manufacturer Support
Never Dealt with them
The Wow Factor
it looks good and has effects, good Quality, but the solid state distortion !!!!!whoah!!!!! bad.
