3.5 stars. The build quality isn't as good as I'd like it to be, which is understandable for the price point, but it's still acceptable if you aren't picky. The ceramic pickups sound good clean, unless you're using distortion; then it begins to sound muddy. Perhaps if I swapped them out with something else, it'd be a better all-around guitar.

This amp sounds great from low to high volume. The built-in effects are very convenient, especially if I don't feel like using my pedals. My favorite feature is the ability to adjust the guitar and USB/AUX volume using two different volume knobs. It also has a built-in tuner and allows you to save effect presets. I also love that you can power it up using AA batteries. I don't know what improvements were made to the newer version of the amp but I can't really ask for anything else.

The amount of functionality this DAW offers is phenomenal. The piano roll could be improved to make editing and composition a better experience if you don't have your MIDI controller with you.
