This amp was made in 1992. It was my first amp.
It is single channel, with switchable reverb and distortion, and lineout. I wish it had Marshall type distortion!
The amp seems a lot louder than 25W, it can keep up with many 50W amps.
The 10" 60W speaker allows you to really crank in clean tone, and it has quite a crisp sound.

Sound Quality : 8
I use a Fender Squier (Silver Series) with a Seymour Duncan bridge pickup. I play R&B, Blues, and Rock. The amp is suitable because of its crisp sound, (good for punchy rhythm).
The spring reverb is as good as I've heard on anything short of a Fender Twin. The Distortion is average at best.

Reliability : 9
I have played quite a few gigs with it and it coped well.
The amp has never failed me, even after some pretty rough treatment.
As tough as an old boot.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never had to deal with the company.

Overall Rating : 9
I've been playing for 9 years. I also own a Peavey Festival head (110W).It is 70's vintage (valve) and has tremolo and reverb. I use it through a 2x12 box. If the Samick was lost or stolen I wouldn't replace it but I would miss it. It's pretty good. It makes an excellent practice amp. I would recommend it.

nice reverb, with main and volume comntrols, which are great for fine tuning. A lot of might for a little amp. Distortion isn't bad, but doesn't have much variety. could use an effects loop.

Sound Quality : 9
absolutely beatiful foe clean, or for running outboard effects through. reverb is beautiful. distortion isn't the best.

Reliability : 9
had it for years, and not one problem besides an rca jack coming loose on the reverb.

Overall Rating : 9
I haven't found anything that beats it for the price. a great buy.
