Good but ...

(+) great looks; good sound for rock/hardrock/blues/pop; but if you're more into electronica/dupstep, there are better headphones. It also stands good on your ear. And the price (100e) is ok. (-) some will say it is too tight, the building quality is bad: after a year or so, the cushions fell apart, and now (two years after I bought it) the electronics do not work properly (the left speaker does not work)

4/5

Superb bedroom amp

(+) Great looks, great quality, loud enough at home, no modeling amp so pretty straight, the cleans are superb for a 70 euro amp (-) no aux in and no effects (especially reverb would have been usefull)

5/5

Good Guitar

To be honest with you, I never played a single coil axe before I tested this one. I usually play a Les Paul, and I was quite surprised by the amount of hum produced by the strat. Otherwise, great guitar. The controls are smooth and the finish is very good. 5/5

The hum is produced by cell phones, power lines, radio stations and halogen/flurescent lighting, your strat is not to blame. Just like its not your body's fault if all the radio interference in the air gives you cancer.

The Squiers don't come well shielded either. One project I will be doing to my VM 70's Strat.

Great value for the price

-What I do like: the number of different effects, the size, the expression pedal, build in tuner; bypass etc, quite easy to use when you once read the manual, and the price .
-What I do not like: some effects (especially the cabinet/amp style modulations), the fact that the power cable is an extra, the difference in volume between different effects, and sometimes in bypass mode, you have some cuts in the sound

4/5

Good, but ...

My sisters guitar is this Squier Tele Affinity. It's a good looking guitar, but the quality is miserable. Two weeks after she bought it, the plate that holds the jack entry broke. And the pickup lever and the knobs are quite loose. But for a guitar that is worth less than 200 euros, it has a medium/good sound. 4/5

Personally, I don't like it very much

(+) great value, very good for beginners, Cube Kit App is a very good tool (it allows to download amp simulation like Marshall, Vox, Orange, etc and run them on the amp) (-) it sounds emulated because it is emulated, the amp simulations are not sounding very convincing (it's my sisters amp and I'm playing through small solid state amps which sound much more direct but have not as much posibilities / effects as this Cube 10).

4/5

Very good guitar for beginning

(+) Great sound (it sounds like a Les Paul to me), great price for what it is (-) Not as good quality as I've expected ( the knobs were all mounted in a wrong way; so I couldn't turn them; the plastic on the pickguard was so sharp that I cut my finger once; the electronics, especially the switch, are not noiseless when you're adjusting them) But I'm pleased with it, and you should not forget that this is an Epiphone, not a Gibson ;-) 5/5

Great Amp

(+) great design, quality and price, soundwise nice amp to play at home, I also like the fact Gain and Overdrive are two different knobs (not like on the Micro Terror)
(-) no effects (reverb would have been cool), no aux in (which is very useful for an amp at home)

5/5
