"Great sound for the money."

I feel this unit is a good good practice amp. I feel overall its a 7 only because of a couple of things I wish were better, like the delay effect which could use more variations in time and overlap. Furthermore the size of the speaker unit seems a bit oversized becaue there seems to be wasted space in the box. I feel they could have put a 10" in there instead of an 8". You'll probly notice this right away.
Sound
I feel the sound this amp produces rivals that of higher priced models. I have owned mostly Fender and Crate and Marshall. For a portable amp of this size, you can have those sounds all rolled into one. The presets and the ones you come up with are really good. I found my sweet spot and love it. The tube sound is really awesome. I was and am impressed everytime I play. I use it with my stratocaster, my steinberger, and washburn idol guitar. It really brings out the character of your guitar too.
Features
I like that this already has a headphone line output. Sounds great with headphones. It has separate gain/ master volume knobs which is nice in an amp this size and an easy to read digital display.
Ease of Use
I feel this is relatively intuitive to use. Programming will take some reading tho, but you can pretty much plug and play this thing right out of the box.
Quality
I haven't had this long enough to know how long it will last. The construction is rather stout tho, but i would not go tipping it over. The switches are of good construction in my view, not flimsy, and they lock on well.
Value
i feel this is a great great value for the money, especially if you don't wanna spend much or can't spend much.. whatever.. its worth the money.
Manufacturer Support

The Wow Factor
This had high appeal for me versus the other brands when I read how many models it offered. It is sick. Good by multi effects box!
