ok for home use
Andrew V. 12.06.2013
I thought this was pretty good for practice at home, but the first time I brought it to a jam its limitations quickly became apparent. I much prefer a tube tone, this sounded very thin and weedy when put up beside a drummer, bass and valve amp. Quite harsh too, might be ok for metal and had enough volume, but too harsh for blues/classic rock imo

It isn't the best amp ever
Anonymous 25.05.2016
So this is an okay amp, it has some nice features and it is easy to use, my only problem is the sound in my opinion.

Clean it sounds great and if you're a player that plays a lot of clean or really low-distorted tones this amp is great for you but when distortion is added it sounds really harsh, saturated and thin in my opinion, so I wouldn't use it if you're a heavy rock player in your bedroom.
Maybe it could work in a band situation though, if a bass player is playing too it could make up for the thin-ness.

So I wouldn't say it sounds great with distortion but without it it's good. the reverb is pretty nice too.
Or if you're a beginner on a really tight budget and really can't pay more than this, sure this is a great amp for the price. But it would probably be better to just save some money for a better (But possibly more expensive) amp

Interesting solution.
Marco F. 8920 28.10.2015
Adequate equipment for smaller and home situations.
The sound is interesting and the material is tough!
The level of functionality like enough and the level of semi acoustic guitars without prejudice to the natural sound.
Simple to use, good price!

Worked great - 5 months in, started malfunctioning
FuzzyDrumming 11.05.2020
Worked great for the first few months where I actively used it, until one day it started suddenly not giving out sound while I was playing, having to be reset each time so that sound comes back on, so cannot use for live gigs out of fear it'll suddenly fizzle out.
Besides that, it was great.

Great quality for its price
Markos111 10.03.2021
Not that bad for its features and the sound is not the best but you can handle it for basic usage and some pedal usage.
