The sound clean is okay for a practice amp, but the distortion is awful. you could use this as a bedroom practice amp on clean and thats it. its only 15 watts so its not very loud.

2 channels, no effects loop, very well built,supposedly tube emulation, but sounds like solid state. Headphone jack. Bought this thru Sweetwater Sound, but never used it, because the sound quality was poor and you could not change the tone, sort of dark sound.

Never tried distortion channel, 10 watts thru 6 and 1/2 inch speaker. not bright enough for me, like a Fender sound. Seems to have the one sort of muddy sound on clean, eq doesn't effect tone. Was using a guitar with single coil pickup.

Seems to be built like a brick, amp came as a demo or return, seems to have problem with power switch,doesn't go off for about 3 seconds after you turn it off

Customer support was a nightmare, I got in touch with the President of the company and he was very nice, he had some guy call me the next day who wanted me to keep it and they would refund the money,it seemed broken or just lame sounding to me, finally got them to e-mail me a mailing slip.

Been playing over 30 years, piece of junk, don't buy it. Maybe with some pedals you could get some better tone out of it. You get what you pay for. 59 bucks. Ibanez Tone blaster, same price, same price, blows this away, probably will pick one up for practice amp. Addage is true, they don't make things like they used to.
