It is cool, I only bought it for 25 bucks, i also have a hondo mark II-735 guitar, it is great!
This amp is great on your wallet and good for practice and beginners.
it has 6 pre-amp watts, and 16 watts more.
has good sound, if you dont crank it to maximum and heavy metal!!
I play some rock...and it is allright for begining.

Sound Quality : 5
For the price, it is great, and good on both channels.
as everyone says, good for beginners.

Reliability : 10
Never broke once, never got a dent, solid as a rock.
Sure built tough, either from korea or japan.

No website, no phone #, the site link on this page doesnt work anymore. Has this company gone under?

No Clue on year, Not very Versitile, 2 NOT Footswitchable channels, Clean and overdrive, Wish it had some tubes, bigger speakers, Equalizer, Chorus, Basically everything as a top of the line tube amp. I use this amp all the time because, well, its the only one i have. Ive used this amp when i did a litle concert with my freinds at his house, didnt turn out too good.

Sound Quality : 4
I use it with my Hondo HII, Came in a package $175 all together, It sounds horrible clean with my Hondo HII, But when i turn my Marshall Jackhammer on, it sounds so sweet distorted (can't belive my little amp could sound good at times). I tried it through my Gibson ES-125, and it sounds really good on clean, even better when distorted. But i bet through a Traynor YCV 80Q, or JCM 800, or a Mesa Triple Rectifier, it will sound 10 times better. In a few days i will have a PRS Mark tremonti SE, and im hoping it will sound good through it.

It isnt noisey at low volumes, but when you get past 8 it gets really staticky, and at 10 it might start to clip with a distortion pedal. Clean channel suprisinly stays clean at high volumes too, exept for some clipping. The distortion brutal? HA... I bet a Rouge has better distortion. But overall, It doesnt sound to bad, But its not good either, with a good guitar, and a good pedal, so ill give it a 4.

Reliability : 7
This thing is built like a rock. When i go over to a freinds house, ill throw it in the back of my moms pickup, hit the gas, and it will slide around in the back, and it doesnt even have a ding on it. My freinds Fender Practice amp when for a ride with my hondo amp, we broke the speaker from the abuse we put it through, the hondo amp doesnt even have a dent on it from it.

Customer Support : 1
Ive Dealt with Hondo, They wernt very freindly, or helpfull. I asked em how many watts it was, They said something about how they couldnt help me cause they wernt authorized to or something like that. Ive email them about my guitar (HII) on what kind of wood it has on it, and the specs, but they said they couldnt help me cause they don't own that guitar, and wouldnt give me a site for something who owns it.

Overall Rating : 1
Ive been playing for a year, if it was stolen, i would chase the guy down, kick his ass for stealing it, PAY HIM, Give him the amp, and say Ha, your in for ride now, and walk away laughing. The only think i love about it is the Durabilty, hate everything else. Don't buy this amp... Its just a waste of money.

Guy before me covered it, a very basic amp.

Sound Quality : 2
Not the best sounding amp in the world. It did the job, which was to learn on. That is what this amp is for --a beginner.

Reliability : 8
Never had a problem with it, pretty durable.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Didn't know they had customer support.

Overall Rating : 5
I have been playing for three years and this amp is long gone. I think it would be fine for a beginner to practice on, but there are better practice amps available. I recieved mine for Christmas with a guitar one year and I didn't know squat about amps or guitars anyway. All I know is I had it, practiced on it, and it did the job.

Well this is a little 8watt amp (I think) that was made in China. I don't know what year it was made in. There aren't many features. One input, drive,(clean or overdrive)Volume,Tone, Headphone and the power switch. Just a little practice amp.

Sound Quality : 3
This amp does not give you a variety of sounds. It either gives you a distorted clean sound or an overdrive(NOT DISTORTION) I got this as a gift. I really wanted a fender frontman but I got this instead. The sound wasn't that bad at first(It made noise!!!)but when I became an experenced player, the more I learned that this was a crappy amp. So I bought a Fender Princeton Chours (Very Nice!!) But this amp really is nice if you plan to give to your kid who quits every thing. Its only $75!

Reliability : 10
This thing is built like a rock! After three years of punishment, it still looks like new.

What company? No website?

I have been playing for three years. I have took this on long trips, knocked it over lots and still looks like new. BUT, This is just a practice amp. It isn't loud and the sound sucks. I own four guitars and one of them happens to be a Hondo(My first guitar)(I gave it away because it sucked) I also have a Fender Princeton Chours amp. I recommend you to look around before you buy, but if you are out of money and you need an amp. Buy this(If you can find one)
