As far as features go, 16 amp models, and 16 digital effects, reverb, gain, master volume, channel volume, low, mid, high controls. It can take a standard foot switch, or a MIDI controller. The amp itself can remember 10 presets. Its 30 watts, I use it for home use.

Now I play music like Metallica, and Creed. I could swear there was a problem with my amp since the amp models sounded nothing like they did when I tried it out at Guitar Center. Some of the models are useful I guess, but just don't fit what I need. The clean sound is great, and bought a Boss Metal Zone to handle my distortion.
The effects are great, theres a tap button to control differant aspects of the effect. The amp is only noisy when I have the Metal Zone turned on, and there is a slight buzz to it, but not very noticeable.
Whats intresting, and has to be a result of the problem, is that with the Metal Zone, I get a sound that is almost dead on the dirty sound used in the song "One" by Metallica, its amazing how close it is. So thats a big plus for it.

Hey, I cicked it dead in the center of it, off my Crate CR 212 amp, into a wall. The wall was damaged, but the amp was fine! Seems pretty reliable, its solid.

It suits me great, lots of useful sounds out of it. I only need to get a noise gate, and the MIDI controller. If you're lke me, and play hard rock and metal, you will need a distortion pedal. Other than that, its a great amp.
