it'll last.
Sound
This amp has 65 watts of pure solid-state power. It has brilliant cleans, and sheer excellent sounding distortion. Although the distortion on this amp leans more toward metal, you could probably achieve that marshall sound with pedals. As for the distortion itself, it'll DEFINITELY please metal heads. Pedals work fine with this amp. It has two channels, clean and dirty.
Features
A footswitch is compatible with this amp, unfortunately, it doesn't come with one.
Ease of Use
It is VERY easy to use. Didnt even need to look at the manual. There are a huge variety of tones that you can get out of this amp.
Quality
Well, ive only had this amp for a couple of days now, so I honestly cant tell for sure. However, this thing looks real solid.
Value
For its price, this amp is pretty unbeatable.
Manufacturer Support
