Price paid: $ 23.7
Purchased from: Bought Used
Features: First off let me just say that this is a very basic amp. It has 3 controls: Dirty Sweet (distortion), Level (volume) and Tone. Sometimes however simpler is better. You only need about 5 seconds to get the amp to what you want it to play. But overall the features left me feeling kind of empty. // 4
Sound: I play this with a Epiphone Les Paul 100. I like to play all kinds of music from Hendrix to the Strokes to Rancid. It fits all styles. The distortion is very dirty giving it a garage band feel. It doesn't realyl have complete variety on what it can play but tinker with the knobs a little and you will definately find something suiting your needs. The sound it gives is just so satisfying it makes you want to play more and more, however it lacks the variety that is needed for certain songs. Especially metal and hard punk/hard rock. I mainly play classic rock and it does the job on about 95% of the songs I play. The sound is almost perfect for a 15 watt amp but it just doesnt have a big enough range. // 8
Reliability & Durability: This amp is by no means a gig amp. It's a small 15 watter. It is completely durable it's been dropped many times and still standing. Theres rips in the material because it's covered with a sort of fake leathery material. It's reliable. I have had it for about 3 years give or take and still works like a charm. However the way you plug it in is odd and sometimes the plug will be loose and you have to keep jamming it back in which can get annoying. But other than that it's relatively durable. // 8
Impression: I'd just like to point out that this amp looks very COOL. I ave been complimented many times on it. It has a pale khaki colour with brown on the sides. The covering over the speaker is plaid and the openuing for it is circular. It looks very classic. It is a good amp but it's the kind for when your just jamming at home. Thisi s by no means a gig amp. But it does the job and does it quite well. // 8
