Sound Quality

I run a Ibanez ST 100 through a russian Big Muff. The only time I turn on this amp is when I want to sound like dripping crap, and that is surprisingly often. The clean channel sounds like you are playing through your stereo most of the time, although you can EQ in worse tones. The fun is when you turn on the distortion. THIS IS THE WORST AMP DISTORTION OF ALL TIME. It sounds like dry heaves. There is no tone to it at all, just dry crappy noise. If you like any good tones at all, you can't get them here.
Typically, what I use this hideous pile of rat dung for is as a noise machine while recording. I put my big muff on the worst tone I can find, turn the distortion to "Lung Cough" roughly eight o' clock, mess with the EQ, and my dog vomits and runs away. Add effects on the computer, and voila!
In other words, this is terrible, and I would never use anything else.
Reliability

This amp is built tougher than a bull dyke named Stumpy.
Who cares if it is stolen? The thief would hear it once and return it with twenty dollar tucked behind the speaker.
Customer Support
:
No Opinion
I am more likely to cut the speaker or set it on fire than repair it. Come to think of it, a fire might help the tone.
The best customer support I can imagine would be in the form of sacking the ass who designed it, and giving out vomit bags for the listeners.
Overall Rating
:
1
I usually go for a sweet tone from an amp from the fiftes, either fuzz from the Muff or amp clipping. Generaly a good shoegazer/punk verging on noise metal sound. This amp compares well to nothing at all. It's so bad, even Line 6 can't compete. DO NOT BUY THIS AMP regardless of price, unless you are a fan of crappy noise tones and pissing off bandmates. It sounds EVEN WORSE with a bass run through it. Made my poor dog howl.
