Amazing Amp For The Price
For $149 this amp is a killer little known fact it is actually the same amp "Eric" AKA (TheDooo) uses. I love this amp I do plan to upgrade to the V.I.P 2 Soon Hopefully.

Meh cheap starter amp
My amp, I don't know if this one is a fault. It gets nice and loud but it has a constant wine. The pedals and sound are great, its just the constant wine that really kills it.

Revision, this amp sucks ass. At first I thought it sounded great, the tiny speaker is nice when its quiet but when you crank it up it just goes haywire. The pedal effects are neat but when you turn it off you have to reset all of the settings, its a pain in the ass to work with, I'd rather get an amp that is clean and use actual pedals to work the sound.

Good amp (especially if you haven't compiled a set of pedals)
The biggest downside to this amp is that to get a CLEAN sound on the bypass, you have to reset defaults. It's not difficult by any stretch, but it's a bit annoying.
