Sound Quality

Terrific tone! I play a Les Paul Custom and a couple single coil guitars through it; sounds fantastic clean 10/10. Quiet on idle. Good sound dirty also, probably 7/10, but I am not an easy grade. The Fine provides a nice variation of tone in both cases. Does not break up like I thought the small speaker would. Can get a little chop out of it at high volume, which is surprisingly LOUD.
Reliability

Dependable for practice, cranked it up with my drummer in a 10' x 18' room and I could not hear him. No issues except the cheap sticker used for a plate peeled itself off in the humidity. Made in Korea; worried me about quality at first, but I could care less now. It been a good dog.

If it were stolen or lost, I would buy one off the shelf. Great sounding for small size, no hassle practice amp.
