Is cheap, sounds cheap

It gets the work done whenever you're on the move and can't use an amp. Useful to train quietly, but the tones aren't fantastic and it's very much not versatile. Even at the lowest gain, you don't have a somewhat clean tone. I know it's literally named "metal", but a gritty clean would've been nice. For its price though, it's alright. I haven't broken it either, so I suppose it's durable, but I suggest you stay careful when using it.
