I bought it at a yard sale and it works great, that's more than than I hoped for $5 and . . . It's a TOY!

Overall Rating : No Opinion
I can almost guarantee that these were sold at truck stops. Sounds good for what it is, and if you don't have unrealistic goals in life, this TOY is pretty cool.

I bought one about 2 years ago....mine sucks. It rattles and if you turn it up all of the way it makes a loud static sound. There are no features. I use mine to practice, and it's alright just for that.

Sound Quality : 2
The sound sucks...it's not loud, and it buzzes.

Reliability : 5
Well, it hasn't broken yet, it still will play, but I cant turn it up all of the way or it's just static....so, i don't know.

I guess it's not bad for what it is...I mean, what do you expect from a $40 dollar amp?

Features : 3
it has a volume and a tone knob, a 5 inch speaker, 2 inputs, headphone jack, and can be run by ac adapter or batteries

Sound Quality : 3
it sounds like a first time amp, or practice/jam amp not meant for gigging

Reliability : 4
i doubt you are going to hurt it, its a 5 watt transistor amp......not a fragile vintage tube amp

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 10
ive seen the other reviews for this amp, are these people serious?! i mean look at it! its meant for begginers, or for late night bedroom jamming. if you actually thought this was going to be a great tone shaping tool that would blow the stage away then you are a moron. Dont take this amp so seriously, the company wasnt aiming to compete with fender or marshall, do you see them selling in the jc pennys catalog??? NO! im giving this a 10 because you get what you were paying for

I don't know the year it was made, as I bought it used. It has 1-5" speaker. It has a volume and a tone knob, and both are very useful. The tone knob allows you to really shape your sound as to your liking. I don't know if this is tube or solid state. see below.

Sound Quality : 7
I use this amp with my emg h 300, and I play a lot of newer hard rock, funk and jazz. It suits my music styles great because I can get such a wide range of tones out of this amp. I think it's a solid state amp, but Harmony must use some type of tube simulation because, when I turn the volume up, it really starts to overdrive the amp and you get some really warm sounds. It really is music to my ears. I can turn the volume down and that gives me great fender-like clean tones. When playing metal, I set the tone and volume controls to full blast, but when you do this you'd better be wearing ear plugs. The distortion is great, but It could use a tad more gain for some of the harder stuff that I play. I don't know why other people have rated this amp so low, probably because they have no experience in what really good tone is. All they must care about is extremely-heavy metal! I mean I only paid 30 bucks for it, so it's not going to sound like a mesa triple rectifier.

Reliability : 8
I've had this amp for 5 years and gig out with it without a back up. I mic the amp, because 5 watts is hardly enough volume to play without mic'ing this amp, and it sounds much better when you mic this amp. I've played out on average 2 times a month for the past three years and haven't had one problem yet. very reliable amp

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never dealt with them. My amp has never failed me yet (knock on wood!)

Overall Rating : No Opinion
I've been playing about 7 years and I own a fender mustang and a esp h 300 with emg 81 humbucker in the neck position and a emg hz pick up at the bridge. I like the amp because it's so easy to haul to gigs because of it's weight. I wish it wasn't made out of plastic. I didn't really compare it with anything else when I bought it because at the time that's all I could afford. If you don't have a lot of coin, I'd definitely look into this amp, it packs a lot of bang for the buck. If this thing was lost or stolen, I'd probably get another one, I don't know I've had it for 5 years and my band members have been trying to talk me into buying a peavey bandit or something. Oh, one other thing I wish this thing had an eq, so I could scoop the mids. I think that would help with the gain, and give an even more brutal sound.

I got it new in January 2000 from a catalog that sells everything, that was a mistake, this amp only has a volume and tone but it has two imputs and a headphone jack. I wish it had a better quallity speaker and wasn't in a plastic box. It does ok I guess, It hasn't woke up the neighbors.

Sound Quality : 2
I play a Harmony guitar that has two single pickups with a tone and volume knob. If I turn it all the way up I can get some distortion, but not enough.

Reliability : 2
I wouldn't want to use this amp in public. But it has droped a few times and still sounds the same.

This amp has no features or versatility at all! It does has volume and tone controls, but that's it. It has two channels, bright and normal. It also has a headphones jack.

Sound Quality : 2
Oh God! It is TERRIBLE! If you crank it up to a decent volume, it makes a horrible buzzing sound. Overall, the sound it much too clean unless you turn the volume up all the way. Right now I am using the headphones jack to hook it up to my stereo, which makes it sound much better.

Reliability : 2
It weighs about 3 pounds max and it is built out of cheap plastic. I would never depend on it. It hasn't broken down, but I don't think it could get any worse than it is now.

Customer Support : No Opinion
I am not going to deal with the company. I am just going to try and forget that I ever bought it.

Overall Rating : 1
Avoid this amp! It is crap. If it was stolen or lost, I would celebrate! I would never have bought it in the first place if I had known anything about amplifiers, but I was a complete beginner. Don't say I didn't warn you! I have ordered a better amp (Crate GX65) and I will comment on it after I have had a chance to play with it for a few weeks.
