I get the greatest clean tone out of it; sounds unusually clear. I find that if I start throwing in chords it does clip a little.

But thing no-one has talked about is actually how this thing -screams- if you solo on the overdrive. I find putting both tone and volume at about 10-11 o'clock and playing fairly high on the fretboard renders an outrageously sick tone. I was playing the solo from Seize the Day and I nearly filled my pants.

My only beef (and I haven't had very much time to fiddle with it and experiment) is that although chords are crunchy on the over-drive, it gets a bit fuzzy trying to play individual notes lower down.

But contrary to what others say..
The overdrive is awful!! Really bad. I would describe is on par with a Behringer Power Overdrive pedal, which is awful in itself! Like a "fly in a tin can".

The clean, is very nice once you get the hang of the weird volume knob and tone, which don't seem to work like you would expect. I'm not complaining about this, its just a tad unusual!

I pretty much completely agree with the first review by Colbat. Its a lovely little portable amp. But if your looking for something to practise with, get a higher wattage orange crush. I have the Orange Crush 30r aswell as some other amps, and I love the bigger orange so much more.

But its so cheap and small!! Still buy this if you have some extra cash around!

This control adjusts the distortion gain. Turning it clockwise increases the distortion intensity. Also this control adjusts the output signal level."
