  6. My opinion is that this product was worth every penny I paid for it. I have had it for a while now and I enjoy the clean and distortion that comes out of this bad motha every time I use it. It is both simple to use and delivers great sound at the same time!

  8. Sound Quality

  9. Tone is great, no problems so far. The clean sound exactly what it says... clean. The distortion is fair without a pedal. It sounds AMAZING when I connect my pedal with it. So, I suggest that you should decide whether or not to spend an extra 60 bucks or not before buying. Trust me, you won’t regret paying an extra 60 cuz it’ll make the amp sound 10x better and well worth the money.

  12. It looks really sturdy to me. I agree that it might not break after a couple of drops. I haven’t dropped mine to be honest, but I’m not willing to do so just for this quest. Only problem is that it rattles on distortion because of the bass. I remedy this problem by putting something heavy on top of the amp; problem solved.

  6. It works great. It is my first ever amp of this quality. It has some great effects and the distortion is awesome.

  8. Sound Quality

  9. All the effects are clean and can easily be turned down if you don’t like the way they are changing the sound. It’s cool. This amp can make any cheap-o sound like a Strat or something, it’s just great with the sound.

  12. So far I have had nothing wrong with this amp. It is very sturdy looking. I think if you accidently dropped it a couple times it would be alright. The effects are in a metal case I believe. Does that change anything? I don’t really know anything about that.

  6. It is a great amp. I use it in the band some of the time when I do not feel like taking my Marshall to practice. The amp is great sounding. I do not know what Steve [below] is thinking.

  9. The clean sounds like my Marshall JCM900 (great.) Both distortions are great and the effects are awesome.

  12. I have had no problems with the amp except my low knob for the clean keeps falling off, but it is easy to put back on.

  6. This product is easy to use but the effects will go out or not work.

  8. Sound Quality

  9. Its crunch channel sounds OK for a solid state amp. Other than that, the clean channel sucks.

  11. Construction

  12. It is not very well made. The cabinet will rattle on the clean channel at above 3 on the volume knob.
