Pretty versitle, nice, starter amp. It was my first, and was a really pretty good buy in end. It has one input, and features two channels: Overdrive and clean. The Overdrive channel has two knobs (Gain and Level), and the Clean channel features Level, and three knobs for EQ (High, Low, and Mid). Has two outputs (very nice feature), one for headphones and one for stronger output, so you can use it as a preamp.

Pretty nice sound, though a lot of people probably disagree (you may have to take some flack from your more-professional-than-thou friends, but its a really great amp to start on in my opinion. The Overdrive is pretty nice, its mainly un-fuzzy and more distorty/murky. Nice though!

Well, the first one I bought screwed up and with switch from volumes when it wasn't suppose to (it would suddenly rise or drop in volume), but the store replaced it for me (because I'd bought it within the year). Be *SURE* to fill out the warrenty as *SOON* as you bring it home, I probably would've been in trouble if I had it a bit longer. The warrenty is 5 year electronics/2 year speaker.

I'd buy it again if I was starting out all over again. Its good for that. Only thing I wish it had was a footswitch to go between the clean channel and the overdrive channel. You have to press the button on the amp.
