For an analog practice amp, this thing kicks. It's sound is so clear that you really have to play clean and with attention to detail. No overdrive button on it to cover lousy playing, but with the gain cranked all the way up it gives a fairly serviceable crunch...for best results though I suggest plugging a Boss DS-1 in between your guitar and amp. I got this on sale at Guitar Center and its worth every penny!

Gain, Level, Bass, Mid and Treble...what more do you need for a warm-up or recording amp? With the RCA jacks for tape in and out plus a headphone jack its has got some great features with a lot of different use possibilities.

Its German engineering and Chinese production...88% of everything you buy now is made in China. I can find not faults with the workmanship or materials. For the price you really can't do much better.

You really have to search long and hard to find a better deal on a 15 watt RMS amplifier with these features!

The only problem is that the company is located in Germany...but e-mails were answered and promptly and service is above average.

The "Vintage" look is a real eye catcher, and the sound just pulls the rest of you in...you'll want this amp!

You want to like this amp because it is neat and retro. But the sound is just awful. Obviously, expectations should be low because it is a small, inexpensive practice amp. But, come on! The tone is terrible. The only way to get any tolerable sound is to adjust the treble and mid to 1 and turn the bass up. Otherwise the harshness is unbearable. The distortion on the amp is almost serviceable.

It is neat. If the sound was just OK, it would be great, but it is not.
