A keeper. This combo has what it takes for medium sized gigs, recording and practice. With a few extra pedals to add some color to my sound, this amp could last a long time.

Sound
This amp is much warmer and more "tube-like" than I would have expected. It has 2 style options for overdrive/distortion. One being a bit thicker sounding like a good standard rock sound. The other a thinner fuzz like tone, comparable to a 60's sound (like The Who or garage rock. Lots of sound dispertion with 2-12" speakers and a loud 100 watts. Also a button that kicks the distortion up a BIG notch for a real metal sound.

Features
The effects for the most part are useless. There is no adjusting the effect, it is what it is. The delay has 1 speed, chorus 1 modulation, etc. The Reverb is good. In general I see the effects as an extra rather than a selling point. It would be nice if the amp would have come with a footswitch for channel switching.

Quality
The cabinet feels solid. All parts seem tight. The knobs are heavy, real metal, and move smoothly. The front grill/speaker cover seems slightly weak but has held up strongly over the past 8 months.

Value
I think that in this price range this amp is an incredible deal. Easily worth more than other big name brand amps that for the same wattage and speaker size are much more expensive.

Have had no problems with the amp but the customer service reps answer quickly if you have any questions and are helpful.

The Wow Factor
It has a basic classic look to it. They didn't try and make it "retro" or "space-age", which is good. The design is a good look and has good lights (cool dark blue), for power and channel selection.
