Versatile nano amp with nice features

It's a 5W nano amp , so I wasn't expecting miracles. If you use it with a small to medium sized cab or speaker you will get nice results. A lot of usable gain at medium volumes (I don't go past 2 o'clock) and good crunch at high gain. Does it sound like a Marshall plexi ? No, I think it is a modest approximation of a Marshall plexi for a practice amp and with a 4 to 8 ohm speaker. I like the FX loop in the back. Many small nano amps don't have that option.
