Pros. Good looking amp. Now the cons...
Noisy at high volume. A little bit strange controls. Not enough treble. Too bassy even on minimum bass level. At the same time bass control past 12 o'clock doesn't do anything. No output for recording. No cab simulator (or just bad cab simulator?) when using phones.
Pretty Sweet Amp
I've used this amp for about a year now, and it kicks out some pretty good tone considering the fact that its solid state and has a small speaker. Overdrive channel is nice, but wont get the distortion you'd hear from a nice Orange tube amp. The amp can keep up with a drummer as long as they don't slam on their drums, but with a larger band it will definetly be drowned in all the sound. A bright clean tone can be brought out of the amp with some tweaking on the EQ knobs (I have mine set with the Mids at 9 o'clock, the bass at 11 o'clock, and the treble around 1 or 2 o'clock). Driving it with a pedal, it can achieve heavier distortion and still sound good. Overall, I have really enjoyed the amp and what it offers.
Mini Doom box
Louder but muddier than my Vox (everything is compared to a Vox) .. but dooms so much more

It's alright
Not sure what's causing a clanky noise when I crank it but since I've bought it for like stupid cheap I really don't want to brag about it. Might fix it up one day but probably will go for a new amp instead.
