I will probably replace this amp with another of the same if something happens to it. Right now I do have another acoustic amp, and might buy another down the road. But I will always be a fan of this amp.
Sound
I went to the local music store and played everything they had in stock, including the Roland AC-60 and the SWR and a few Crates. But none reproduced the sound of my Taylor 814-CE with the same accuracy. There are some other amps that I might buy in the future, but since I'm not a singer and simply a songwriter playing finger style most of the time. I wanted an amp that would reproduce the sound and dynamics of the guitar without coloring the sound. I would buy another in a heart beat if this amp where stolen, or lost.
Features
For my purposes the Reverb is all I need. I occasionally play with the chorus, but never while performing
Ease of Use
This is a plain simple amp. Everything about it is intuitive, and should not be difficult for anyone who has ever plug a guitar into an amp.
Quality
The amp is built like a tank, it's very solid, and I've never had any problems with it of any kind.
Value
In the price range it is the best sounding amp I've found.
The Wow Factor
The colors look great together, it looks pretty classy in my opinion.

"Rugged Little Big Sound"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I bought this amp to go along with my (then) new Takamine C4 at a Guitar Center in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania in 2004. Besides being a good sounding amp for the guitar, it also served as my music companion at work. I carried this Rugged Little Big Sound Box to construction sites for year's. I would just plug my I pod in and let it play all day.

Musical Background:

I've been playing since 1972.

I started out playing wooden music influenced by my 4 Uncles who played and sang Country Music. I myself like most music genre's

"Good for the money."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think it's pretty good overall, considering the price. I am happy with it for the most part.
Sound
I do own this amp, so I've played through it a lot. (I play Taylor guitars.) It sounds pretty good at lower volumes. It doesn't preserve the sound of my guitar (though most of the problem has to do with piezo pickups, which are not good because they change the sound of the guitar, and I hate them), though it does a better job than other amps in the price range, like the Fender Acoustisonic. It doesn't do too well at higher volumes, but what can you expect from a small amp. Sometimes I'll use it as a monitor. The chorus sounds good.
Features
I has 2 channels which is good. It also has a DI out, which I use frequently. It also has Chorus and Reverb, which I enjoy.
Quality
Everything seems to be good quality as far as I can tell. I have had no problems with quality.
Value
I think that even though I have some complaints about the sound and about the volume limitations, it is still a good value for the money. I don't regret purchasing it.

Musical Style:

every style that I'm able to play

Marshall AS50R Amp Customer Review

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
This is possibly one of the worst amps ive played... The sound quality is horrible. This maybe one of the worst prouducts that marshall ever put out. There are only two good things good about it. One, it's construction is very sophisticated, very good thing to take on the road. The second good thing about this amplifier is that it can be returned. Dont go for this amp... SWR is the way to gooo.
Value
NOT WORTH THE PRICE!!!!!
