Insane Amp! I love the thing!
Incredible Amp! I fell in love with it after playing it at the store and just couldn't resist making it my own. After my old Crate Amp turning out to have been blowing a fuse because of an electrical problem I had to buy an amp with similar or better wattage for use at band practice and this amp did the trick. It has to be my favorite amp I've played yet and would recommend it to anyone who can get their hands on it.

Great Beginner Amp and Great for Small Shows
I bought mine after the other guitarist in my band came to practice with his and I was surprised with all the amp could do. It is a great amp for someone who is starting off or is low on cash. I used the amp for band practices and to write songs at home, I now use it mainly for writing and for performances at local coffee house. The amp works great but if it is played at a volume of any higher than six a very noticeable burning smell will come from the amp and smell up the entire room. This caused my band to begin putting mics on our amps at band practice which works out well and sounds great but can be expensive.

burning smell? is this a modeler with a preamp tube in the circuit? if so check the tube, it probably shorting. The burning smell is the heaters of the tube melting the PCB and ruining your toy. If there isn't a preamp tube then check out the speaker. Since it is only at higher volumes it could be a problem with the voice coil rubbing when you hit the speaker with a lot of power. If that's not it you are fucked. Its something critical in the DSP section of power amp and you might as well just throw her out.

Great Guitar, Very Solid and Reasonably Priced
I own not one but two of these guitars. I bought my first in the 6th grade and have used it ever since. The guitar has been one of my favorites and has custom work done to it. The other has stayed stock since I bought it in 2013. I used both often as although they may not be an expensive and incredibly fancy guitar they still sound great. They are comfortable and have been dependable in all the time I've had them traveling between my house, band practice, and gigs.

BEAUTIFUL GUITAR! MY FAVORITE!
I got the Epiphone SG in 2014 and have used it ever since. It's been my favorite electric guitar ever since. It's traveled with me to multiple band practices and gigs. It is body style makes it comfortable to play and is incredibly light. The sound from it is absolutely phenomenal! The guitar is well known and always gets great response from the crowd and my peers.
