This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
what more can I say? Well I guss I'll mention the effects (might as well!) they're not perfect, but they get the job done, better yet, get your old pedals out of the closet, run them through this amp and get ready to be amazed! Almost anything sounds good through this thing, from a les paul with a phaser, to a strat with a flanger + chorus, to a tele with a wah...it's all good!
Sound
this amp roxx! It's everything you ever wanted in an amp. There's all that technical stuff in there if you want it, but you're going to love the simple side of it more. that whole plug-in-and-play attitude is exactly what this amp is built for!
Features
this is one hot tamale! it's got reverb that sounds like it came strait from the 1950's and the color of the tolex, can you say Buddy Holly? If you're a Strat player, you'll love the sparkle and glass-like sound this amp produces. but don't be fooled! there's plenty of grungy, dirty, distortion in there too! just like mom used to make!
Ease of Use
it's easy to dial in any sound you can come up with. from tube like compression & sag to all out balls to the wall noise. I use it with a Tech21 2 x 12 speaker cab, and it's LOUD! I'd be afraid to see what would happen if I used the 4 x 12 cabinet they make for it!
Quality
it's just an awesome amp! everything is perfect, you couldn't ask for anything more! except maybe a 2 x 12 version of the cab to match the head for those times when a 4 x 12 takes up too much space. (Are you guys at Epiphone getting this down?)
Value
for what this amp is going for, it ranks a 20 out of 10 for value! Why didn't they think this puppy up sooner? It would have saved me the trouble of going through 2 Marshall combos, 2 Fender heads, 1 Mesa Boogie combo, 1 Peavey head, and a whole lot of heartache, (not to mention burning multiple holes in my wallet!)
Manufacturer Support
never had to call 'em. Don't know how good they really are, hoping I never have to find out!
The Wow Factor
don't know about sex appeal, but this amp sure does look good. everyone who's seen mine keeps asking if I "custom ordered" it. I almost want to tell them yes, so that they don't run out and get one of their own! I like being the envy of the whole neighhborhood!

"great value and usable features"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I have three other amps and this one complements those. i bought this amp because it seemed to offer great value and features in a reasonably powerful and versatile package. also, i put a fair amount of faith in other owner's opinions as well, and most seemed to like this amp very much.
Sound
The clean channel is excellent..if 'clean' is measured by fender amps, this one is real close to that sweet tone. The overdrive channel is fair..the distortion is muddy and doesnt get the volume the clean does. maybe a good pedal thru the clean channel? havent tried it yet. The effects are excellent for on-board. flanger, delay and reverb all have outstanding tone quality and adjustability.
Features
the features are just what I wanted in an amp! it's user-friendly and the effects are just enough. i definitely did NOT want a 'modeling' amp with 800 'classic' amp tones, most of which sound like crap and nothing like the originals! the only thing i wish it came with is a footswitch.
Ease of Use
Very easy to figure out, which is good because the 'manual' had absolutely no instructions.
Quality
It's brand new so time will tell, but heavy as a tank and seems to be well-fit and finished. knobs all on tight and work with the same amount of effort. finish work top-notch. amp is totally quiet!
Value
Again, 'value' to me is measured over the long haul. It appears like it should last a long, long time

Don't know yet
The Wow Factor
I'm a practical buyer. i want the most for my money. other buyers have made note of this amp's cool retro look. frankly, it looks ok to me but i'd be just as happy with it if it had a more modern look..in other words i dont give a crap what it looks like, i want it to perform.

After the technical problems I faced, It gets the job done and sounds pretty good.
Sound
The gain and sound is very very close to a tube amp.
Features
It has three effects plus reverb. They cannot be combined but it offers different variations of the three effects. It has a headphone jack which is nice and offeres and AUX in and AUX out.
Ease of Use
I didn't really even need to read the manual. It's pretty simple to figure out.
Quality
When I received it, I opened it and found the tweed-like grill's nails had popped out of their holes and the grill ad fallen into the head. I had to screw the grill back on myself. Also the gain knob very loose, not a restricted motion like the other knobs. Besides that the amp was fine and sounded nice.
Value
It's pretty cheap and it gets the job done. Especially for the amature artist like myself. I don't recommend it for a pro though.
The Wow Factor
It looks totally vintage!!!
