This amp is plenty loud for a practice/small gig amp. It's tone quality is awesome. There is no hissing noise, and the price is the best there is. If your a beggining musician or even an experienced one looking for an amp, you should buy this amp over any other brand. You wont be dissapointed.

Crazy Value on a Nice Little Amp

Tremendous value in a solid practice/jam/home rec amp. Does what a guitar amp should do and does it well. Plenty of features, but you must take time to figure out how they work together. For example, the EQ is relational, cut one, you are boosting others, the lead channel adds gain AND cuts reverb, the clean channel clips when pushed past halfway, etc. And this is a real "screen door" reverb, producing a deep, rich tone. The FX loop is very handy and sensitive, stick a distortion pedal or even an aggressive compressor and prepare for hum and hiss. My signal chain took some trial and error, but is now wonderfully flexible: Guitar-Multieffects-Amp-FX Loop (echo and vibrato) then the FS-1 footswitch to stomp between lead and clean channels. The footswitch is a practical requirement to max out this amp. The gain is somewhat scratchy, just a dab will do for most tones. As it is, about the only sound I haven't gotten out of this thing is full-on death metal, but for that you should be looking elsewhere anyway. But for an incredible array of classic rock and blues sounds, I don't think you can do better at twice the price.

I bought this amp because I needed something a bit smaller and quieter. I play surf style stuff and I couldn't really achieve that tonality with this amp. I loved the footswitchable channels and the clean channel but the lead channel had way too much treble, even when dialed down. The reverb was ok, I would prefer using a pedal but thats just due to my playing style. All in all its not too bad of an amp.

I've had this little guy for 2yrs or so and I am very pleased with it. The overdrive channel is wicked when needed, but it is the clean channel that really makes this amp special. Dialed in from 1-5 this amp offers crystal clear tones that are simply amazing when cranked above 5 the amp reproduced an heated tube sound that is quite convincing for such an affordable amp. Great kinks-type sounds grind out of this amp making it tons of fun to fiddle with. When mic'd up a simple twist up on the gain and the same down on the master allow you to dial in sounds that you won't get in another amp in this price range. There are some features that I wish this amp had including a speaker jack, but for small gigs and practice or garage work you can't beat this amp!

An Ok Amp
Posted by Vanhalen1 from Vancouver, WA on Nov 22, 2005

I played this amp At my friends house a few days ago and I was not overly impressed. The clean settings are pretty good, but I thought that the distorion was bad. It was just too sloppy for me. It didn't even sound like rock. I don't know if it was just the settings he had on it or what, but I didn't like the distortion at all. I think this is more of a blues amp, so if you like blues, then you'll like this. It does Okay with pedals and effects, not a great sound with a wah, but it gets the job done. I like how the top lights up blue when you turn it on though. I would reccomend to save up a little more and Get a 30 watt Marshall, way better quality for about the same Price.
