Features: This amp is versatile enough to play most any style of music. You can program three presets consisting of a clean or dirty channel with simultaneous modulation effect, reverb and delay - meaning that you could have one channel clean with a rotating speaker, reverb and delay, one channel dirty with touch wha and delay, and one channel dirty with an octaver. With 65 watts it's good enough for a bed room or small gigs. It built in EFX`s include: flanger, delay, octaver, touch, wha, reverb, rotating speaker, chorus, phaser, tremolo. With the footswitch is a four-button footswitch three for the pre-set channels and a fourth that allows you to switch individual effects. // 10

Sound: I use my Fender Strat and play most every kind of music on this amp.
It has a great clean tone, and the distotion is brutal with all the EFXs it's great. // 10

Reliability & Durability: You can depended on this amp I would take it to a gig I have had it for 7 months, but its been the best amp i ever bought. // 8

Impression: I've been playing for four years with my old Fender strat I like this amp. // 10

overall: 7.8

Features: This guitar is easy to use, and easy to learn the controls. I had them memorized within half an hour. It does not have any channel switching or special sound effects. It does have a headphone jack. Althouhg this guitar does not have a lot of power behind it, is is a reliable, sturdy amp. I play many types of music, and this goes perfectly with that, but still; not enough power in this tiny amp. // 7

Sound: I mainly use a Peavey Generation EXP guitar, with standard pickups. It suit's me pretty well, and can go to many different settings, with a moderate variety of sounds to it. It does get distorted at high volumes, but it isn't too brutal until you get to about 7 or 8 on the volume dial, which it's not meant to go to anyways. // 8

Reliability & Durability: I have depended on this amp ever since I started playing electric guitars, and has held up absolutly perfectly since then. At lest until I got a new (and bigger) Line 6 Spider III amp. The hardware has not gotten worse over time and has held it's sound, and it is very sturdy. I have dropped it about 3 times, and nothing has gone wrong. This surprised me as I have heard many tubes break down regularily. // 9

Impression: I play almost any type of music, and this amp suit's me perfectly. I have been playing guitar for 5 years, and played electric for 4. Over those 4 years, I have played many Live gigs with it, but because of it's small size, I suggest it be merely a beginners amp, and you should get something bigger eventually. But still, it is reliable, has a high quality sound, and has served me well. I hope it serves you well, too. // 7

I just got this amp and its awesome. The distortion is awesome on it. It sounds good when you play old Metallica and Waking The Fallen A7X stuff.
Definetly 9.5 of 10

Yeh a few questions: How loud can this baby go?
Does it sound like a tube amp?
Is it supposed to be hybrid or just tube?

I've had this amp for two years now, and I love it. There are so many different sounds/tones you can pull from it, it's just amazing.

If anyone is looking to buy this amp, there is one thing I have to tell you... when making changes to any of the effects, make them in small increments! If you want to hear just a bit more reverb and you're sitting at (3), don't just turn it up to (10), go to (4). It's that way with all of the controls which give you all of the control you'll ever need from an amp.

Highly recomended.

how heavy is this amp? im considering buying it since i go to some friends' houses occasionally , but i gota walk about 45 mins to get there....

I have this amp, and it's awesome. To Phill, there is NO way you could carry it for 45 minutes... It's not a small amp.

Buy a trolly for it, Canada calls them that, you wouldn't understand like we have milk that comes in bags too

I love this amp..It is in my opinion the most versitile amp for the money..i play my Fender Vg Stratocaster through it, and it can hit those Zakk Wylde Harmonic squeals, and 5 seconds later i can have it playing a clean song by Clapton

Is this amp too much for an amp in the home? I was looking to get another amp and local pawn shop has one for $279 and could probably get them done to 240 or so.
