"Versatility, ease of use, and awesome ease of use for an affordable price."
I would be satisfied owing this amp for many years to come.
Sound
I love the sound of this amp. I play a range of styles from rock to blues and contemporary Christian music. I love the natural tube distortion you can get with this amp. The compression is awesome feature and saves on a stomp box. The only reason i didn't rate it a ten is because I liked the clean sound on a Fender Tweed Deluxe ($1,800.00 and no distortion) and I thought that the Mesa Lonestar (also $1,799) Special had more versatility as far as distortion sounds go.
Features
I think that it gives more bang for the buck than other amps. The compressor and overdrive features are great. The reverb is classic. I also appreciate the power attenuator which allows you to achieve great sounds at surprisingly low volumes.
Ease of Use
You can achieve awesome cleans to vintage Hendrix with the twist of a few knobs. Pro effects loop. Outrageously easy to get great sound.
Quality
Looks great, and has a quality feel.
Value
Generally, I see this amp selling for about $1,000. This is a superb value. I was comparing it to amps that sell for $1,800. I think this amp is a killer value. I would not only use it in the studio. I would mike it out and gig with it.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to deal with them.
The Wow Factor
I want it for the awesome sounds you can get with ease.

i picked one of these up for only $550 used when my egnator crapped out on me. This amp has an amazing clean sound and has surprisingly good bass response for a 1x10. The reverb, like the clean tone, is very much classic Fender. I love having the power attenuator and direct out because i can record at very low levels or silently if i desire. I do have a couple minor gripes with the amp. The overdrive circuit is usable for practice but i would never turn that thing on during a gig. the compressor has a much better sound but i would rather they just included a second channel than these two mediocre "stompbox style" effects. Great amp overall though, especially for the home studio.

"Instant classic!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Sound
Doesn't get any better in a small pro-recording amp! Does exactly what it's designed to do. Great tube distortion at extremely low volume levels. Ability to use headphones is a plus in situations where noise levels are a concern. Also, the best vinage, clean sound W/reverb I have ever heard from any amp in any class. This product is an instant classic!
Value
Expensive, but worth it!
