the sound is not BAD BAD but the only way i realy can handle it is when i have ever thing full other then volume.
with no distortion it realy suck's if your looking for a good cleen sound go for tube's other then that i would say its got more power then you would think it say's "||7v~60hz 50watts " wich im not realy sure what that means but 4 what i was useing it for i never need to go past 6 and that was at a prastis with drum's and all but in my room just playing around and trying to keep my mom sort of happy around 2-3 was about right some time's a bit lower im mosty a lead guitar player i play some rythum and my syle is some were in the rock hard rock blue's sort of way i like most all music so it sort of belnds

good for someone who is starting and has like no $ and bad hearing. lol
you could get it for a back up or just around the house or at a frend's house or some 1 who does not play much guitar but wants an elc guitar and amp just to mess around with but its not something you keep and play for years but as far as i can see it will last for years if you mess around with the setttings you can get a some what good sound and if you tryed some pedles on it may help as well but i would say get a cheeper fender or crate befor this if you have a chance

Yamaha HY-10G3 is a pretty std practise amp, 10 watts, solid-state, no reverb, a headphones jack. There's no fx loops or other fancy stuff, no footswiching. It's a one channel amp.

The clean channel is pretty characterless, and the od channel isn't too great, very fizzy, maybe great for punk, but for me, a tube emulation would be nice.

Very reliable, it has taken some major hits (eg dropping from 5 feet) with out any problems.

I wouldn't really recommend this amp, even for starters, 'cos there's no reverb or anything else necessary. Buy a Squier practise amp instead.
