2 channels with footswitch, boost with footswitch, effects loop, reverb with footswitch, treble mid and bass controls make the amp sound like its under a pile of mats when turned down low.

Sound Quality : 6
We like to call it THRASH ELLIOT since the only way to make it sound like it's not stuffed under a pile of mats is to turn treble and bass up to 10 and thats when it sounds really raw.
Clean channel is nice though it distorts too easily.
I'm using a Gibson 500 T Humbucking pickup currently.

Reliability : 10
Hasn't broken down ever. I've had it for 1,5 years.

Overall Rating : 6
Wouldn't buy it again. A Peavey classic 30 would be a better choice in about the same price range.

Great amp. I love the chorus and reverb. I crank the distrtion and and both effects and it sounds fucking awesome. I play in a heavy rock/metal band, and the sound is perfect.The volume boost is cool to, so you never have to worry about not being heard on solos.

Sound Quality : 10
It has a killer clean sound, and with some chorus and reverb, it's totally raD.i PLAY in an Alternative Metal band, and its cool for the rare occasion we do play clean. It's not noisey at all. Never feeds back as long as you use the master volume in cunjunction with the volume on each channel.I have had almost no feedback whatsoever, and the only feedback i have ever gotten has been when I've forced it. It also has killer distortion. Very pure. Not reall very thrashy, but gets the job done.

Reliability : 10
I would definaetly use it without even thinking about a backup. Very tuff and reliable.

It has a clean channel and a gain channel. Clean is very clean, it sounds alright. Two levels of gain, changeable by a switch on the amp. The distortion is excellent in both modes. Lots of distortion in this amp. Has spring reverb and boost that can be turned on/off with pedal.

Sound Quality : 10
The sound is very good. It is very clean on the clean channel, but a little noisy on the gain channel. The distortion is excellent as mention earlier, sounds great with my strat, even better with my hamer. Also sounds great when an acoustic is run through it, but it does not have chorus.

Reliability : 9
Never had any problems with it, it is pretty well built and will last unless it is abused.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never used so far. I believe that the warranty is two years, but I may be wrong.

Overall Rating : 10
Yeah I would definitely buy it again, blows away most other amps in its price range. The only regret I have is that I wish i had bought the 80-watt version, it

The tramp is a 40 Watt (RMS) amp, 1 x 12" Speaker with spring reverb. 2 Channels, Both having t/m/b eq's and Gain. Chan 2 has two gain modes and a boost. The package comes with a footswitch for channel switching and for the boost. There is also reverb and presence controls, a socket for a reverb footswitch and an effects loop.

Sound Quality : 7
The clean channel is very clean throughout, and the distortion is not brutal but is convincing none-the-less I'm playing it with a Japanese Strat, and playing some standard rock stuff with it.

Reliability : No Opinion
I have only had it for a few weeks, but it seems very robust

Customer Support : No Opinion

From what I've gotten out of it so far, the thing is a dream!
