Features: Made in 2005, this amp is a very versatile amp if you wanna play blues. Works fine for metal too. It's a solid state, it has 2 channel one is clean and one overdrive, it has effect loop, no headphone jack and it also has line put. Reverb with presence to add more variety to the reverb, I wish it had a headphone jack because this 50 W amp sound like a 75 W amp! I live in a block of flats and sincerely I can't play over 1 at the volume. // 9

Sound: I sincerely give it a 8 for metal type sound and 9 for blues. This would be the ultimate choice in price range for a great solid state amp. The distortid channel has a knd of Nirvana sound to it, and the clean is clean as it can get. The tone is very good, nice thick distortion, if played over 2 at volume. I own a Squier Stratocaster, and yes it is noisy if I play only on singles, put when playing on 2 it's not noisy at all so it's good if you have a guitar with humbuckers, but a good hush will be just fine if you own one. // 9

Reliability & Durability: I totaly rely on it because it is my only amp, and it is great. I don't think this amp will soon break down. It is too good and well built. Also it has a very Vintage look and I can see that the wood is very thick, a plus in my belief that it won't get trashed. // 9

Impression: I'm a beginner but I know a good tone when I hear one, and this amp has nice tone, I wouldn't have bought it if it was crappy.I recommend again a hush for all you single pickup owners. I'm planning to make my Squier HSH in January so I won't have any problems. // 10

Sounds like a nice beginer ss amp. I realy don't understand why people always buy fender or marshall ss amps, this for example might be the same as a marshall MG amp but for a lower price.

believe me....this is NOT a beginner amp...u can gig with it just fine...it sound almost exactly like a tube amp, and i`m not bragging it - ), i bought it just because it really really sounded good...the blues tone on it is very good and having a thick tone, it does metal too.Cheerz

ps: the speaker on it is designed by boniface, the guy who helped the making of celestion speakers...and 70% is more in the speaker, not in the amp itself

Hey, I've got one of these amps and I agree with SKarbu it has an awesome tone, volume and versatility. It's generally a very good amp just as good as some fender or marshall amps but for a much lower price!
