decent amp
i quite enjoyed this amp, the presets were alright, and the customization was nice, but for some reason it didnt take pedals very well. even after hours dialing both amp and pedal in, i could not get it so sound good.

Low Budget Practice Amp
Not Valve? You shouldn't do that? Of course the playability and the sound of the amp. But if you play with not to much budget, you get sooo much for your money. Firstable, the amp is that loud that I can hardly play it without headphones at home. 2nd, you get a bunch of different sounding amps and effects on it and they are all accessable via phone app or as presets with the footswitch which to buy I'd highly recommand. It has USB and Bluetooth connection which gives you the oportunity to play along to songs or youtube guitar lessons.

Best practice amp I've ever owned
For the money, you get a hell of a lot. I paid extra for the footswitch and would have been happy if it cost 100 more than it did. The different amp models offer a range of wonderful tones, and the presets give a good feel for what this thing can do.
