eh somewhere in the 90's im playing hard rock so this thing blows, but it was my first amp, no complaints. im usings a digitech rp50 processor to get some good sounds for hard rock, im impressed with the clean. it has 2 channels, clean and overdrive. i wish it had a little reverb, but its a small, cheap beginner amp...

Sound Quality : 4
im using a schecter pt-elite, two duncan designer pickups im gettin ans SG soon

it suits a new learner, thats about it.

its real noisy after u have the overdrive volume past 5, and the overdrive turned up past 8.

the clean channel doesnt brake up to bad one high volume.

the distortion is really lame, it sonds pretty good for blues though

Reliability : 9
THE most dependable 15 watter you can get. ive had it on and cranked for over 3 years, and its still with me. i just gotta crate vx310, so im not playing the other, except at bands rehearsal, damn thing is mad heavy. anyways this is a dependable amp, i havnt done anything to it good or bad. i beat the snott out of it and it still works, so its awsome in this category

Not Sure what year this Amp was made in, but it was my first ever Amp when I started playing 13 years ago. It was brand new then, so I'm guessing late 80's. Basically it has Volume, Treble and Bass Control, Headphone Jack, one line in and a Drive Switch. I used this Amp as a practice Amp for Years and I still use it from time to time. It's a great little amp.

Sound Quality : 8
I play all sorts of Styles - Funk, Blues, Rock, Acoustic stuff and have used the amp for all of these. Being a small amp, you can't really get a big sound out of it. Great for people looking for a reliable little practice amp. I'm pretty sure they're not made any more, but can probably be bought for a steal from a second hand store.

Reliability : 10
I have had this Amp for 13 years, and it has seen some abuse and it is still going. I think it may need a new speaker soon, and the input jack is getting a little noisey, but you've got to expect this after years of abuse. However, it has never really broken down. Great for a warm up amp before gigs too.

As stated, I have been playing for 13 years. My little Dean markley sits proudly along side my Fender Bassman 135 and my Marshall VS65R Orange Crush. If it were stolen I wouldn't be too distraught, probably sentimental value more than anything. I just love it's reliability more than anything. It has served me well. If your looking for a cheap, reliable, good sounding practice amp, then give this a look if you can find one.

Bought this amp from Cash Generator, super sound, great to see an overdrive switch on it. Don't know when it was made. My style is nu-metal and its excellent for #25 ($40) Sounds great through headphones or blasting away. I am amazed at the power from an amp that size.

Sound Quality : 9
Just bridge pick hard strum and distortion is great dirty at high vol and tone. From quiet picking to hard overdrive, good all round amp

Reliability : 10
Just as new never let me down

Been playing for 20 years, got a Fender Strat and Peavey amp, but fav guitar wishlist is Fender Venus. Would buy this amp again. Just lucky to get a good amp
