Sound
It's been great for my needs. I use it for my acoustic playing, electric playing and bass guitar playing. I have effects boxes for each type of guitar so the flat response of this keyboard amp has worked well. It has not colored the sound. I use it for stage monitoring mostly although it has been used as sound reinforcement too. I also use it at home for practice.
Features
I love the 4 channels that give me plenty of options, the XLR I use for vocals, the built in DI for the sound board, and the pre-amp equalizer.
Quality
I've had it almost 4 years now. Carried it everywhere. Dropped it more than once. It is heavy though so I put wheels on it. I would like to see it lighter. I would like to see it wedged a bit like a monitor amp, or make it tiltable.
Value
Yes indeed.
Manufacturer Support
No experience here except the user manual was friendly.

Sound
This amp sounds great. Clean, powerful.
Features
Love the built in DI box with attinuator! I use as an amp for electronic drums, but have also had three vocal mics as a practice PA, and it is clean!
Ease of Use
Very easy interface.
Quality
It's kinda large, and without casters is a real beast to carry.
