good duitar
it works best when plugged in. Otherwise, sounds..well, it sounds ok, but the bass is dull and with no sustain at all. Probably fine for strumming but I use it for fingerpicking. Once plugged in, it transforms into real instrument. Mine needed some action adjustement in order to get string lowered

Very good amplifier
I've had this amp for about two years, but couldn't get the fender-ish clean glassy sound I was seraching for. It has master volume, which is a good thing for home practicing. Full blooded tube machine. Otherwise, very well built, heavy, sturdy like a tenk. My girl liked it's boutique look but I sold it to the heavy metal guy, who found it good even for that kind of music.

of course it won't do fender, its a BadCat knockoff... all Vox DNA... that's a good thing.... if you replace it with a Matchless clone with the EF86 pentode channel instead of the high gain channel you will find all the glassiness in there, more than a fender really, but it will never thump like a fender and it has more chime than steely twang set clean.... apples and oranges, don't take a Pickup truck to a Stock Car race... and yes, amps in the vox/matchless camp can even get into metal turf (though old school metal), the gain structure of all the different channels used in these types of amps is just hotter by design than a blackface fender and the phase inverter uses a 12ax7 with a gain of 100 versus a vintage fneer's 12at7 with a gain of I think 80

best transistor amp you can get
I've heard it by chance, and after that couldn't get his sound out of my head. It responds like tube amp, the sound is clear, litlle bit compressed. PREAMP VOL - MASTER VOL combinations works so good that you don't need any OD pedals. Spring reverb. Just a great amp
