Made in China probably in 2006 or 2007. A 5 watt mini solid state amp, so no question there on versatility. 2 channels with gain, volume and tone knobs, and headphone input. runs on either 9 v battery or ac adapter. its my practice and small gig amp so, its powerful for either occasions. The sole feature i wish it had would be reverb but I can get Dano Wasabi fuzz pedal with echo/reverb for that.
Sound Quality
:
9
Since I rarely play it on clean I guess its okay but on fuzz/dirty it sounds good for a mere 5 watts comparable to maybe even 10 watts. At low volumes it sounds farty and like my Dano Honeytone mini amp on dirty but at high volume it sounds fuzzy. It distorts fairly easily at high volume on the clean channel. I am amazed that it doesn't produce alot of feedback at high volume on the fuzz channel. The distortion has enough fuzz and low end crunch to do the job I intend to get the aforementioned Dano pedal for better Fuzz/ distortion and reverb
Reliability

No Opinion
It seems reliable since its Washburn but can't tell since I just bought off of Ebay.

So far I love this amp because it is a powerful 5 watt amp that is portable
