Reviews around crunch (5.00 of 5)

  • The overdrive channel is your standard solid state crunch and nothing to write home about
  • Not to small or large, this amp pumps out really good crunch with good gain
  • Works great with a true overdrive pedal, but the crunch and OD channels sound amazing without the added gain from a pedal
  • The crunch has that classic marshall crunch sound to it
  • The adjustability is outstanding and the clean and dirty crunch rock sets perform excellent

Reviews around build (4.55 of 5)

  • The built in effects are pretty nice, but the tempo is sometimes difficult to set
  • The built in effects are surprisingly nice, if a little bit tricky to figure out at first
  • Amp also looks very nice and is very well built, does not have much for options, but does have headphone and mp3 jack wich is nice if you want to plug a mic into the mp3 slot but dont expect much to come through form the mike
  • Overall, a well built, nice sounding amp with enough features and effects to make most players happy, at least for under $200.

Reviews around practice (4.50 of 5)

  • Great practice amp for small spaces, even better (way better) using clean channel to use distortion, boost, fuzz pedals to rock
  • This amp is great for what it is; a small, cheap practice amp.
  • If you want a small, solidly-built, light, decent practice amp that takes pedals well and is a good value, consider this one.
  • Not even a really good practice amp, sent it back and waited for the Code 50 to come out
  • I would recommend this product to anyone who is starting out and needs a good practice amp.

Reviews around state (4.35 of 5)

  • If you're used to a tube amp, this 30-watt solid state amplifier is not very
  • Clearly a solid state sound, nothing to compare with a tube amp
  • Nice size, and very good high and mid range tone for a tiny speaker, a little thin on the bass, but its a mini solid state amp for not much money; plenty loud, does as
  • The sound quality is just terrible even for a solid state amp
  • It should also be noted that it has the cheaper solid state drawback of a fizzy high end when the gain is cranked, but this will be true wherever you look

Reviews around price (4.26 of 5)

  • For many years, I've wanted a Marshall, but I could never afford the often hefty price tag

  • Lightweight and compact with nice construction at a very good purchase price.
  • this amp is very good, and the effect is surprising, and all off it with a cheap price
  • everything sounds clean and powerful, not tinny or weak.once again, i'm no expert (yet), but i think this is a great sounding amp from a well-known manufacturer at a very good price.

Reviews around tone (4.23 of 5)

  • When I am recording, I use an Ampeg BA108 as well as this amp, and it provides a gorgeous, warm clean tone, to bone crushing thick dirty tones
  • I bought this amp as a practice amp because I missed the "marshall tone
  • If all you want is a nice clean tone without any reverb then this is the perfect amp for you
  • The tones are beautiful, and I cant recommend this amp highly enough
  • I'm pretty impressed with how they were able to recreate the classic Marshall tone in a solid state practice amp.

Reviews around channel (4.16 of 5)

  • That having been said, the dirty channel, while not awesome, is serviceable, not that I've used it much
  • When I plugged in, I first played through the "clean" channel.
  • This does more for your sound then you expect it too as its real clean in the clean channel and gritty as you want it to be in the other
  • The clean channel sounds fantastic and the overdrive channels have all the distortion you could possibly want
  • the dirty channel is okay, and you can adjust bass, mids, and treble.

Reviews around effect (3.79 of 5)

  • but if someone bumped it the silly effects would go haywire and get in turned on /
  • Who needs all this useless effects anyways when you cant even sound good to begin with?
  • This amp has pretty good clean sound; effects aren't too bad either, but I personally don't use them that much, except for the reverb effect
  • The effects sound good for amp effects and the sound quality of the overall amp is fantastic
  • The effects are limited but work perfectly with the amp

Reviews around distortion (3.53 of 5)

  • It's inexpensive but will give you the sound you are looking for instead of just fuzzy distortion or just plain dull
  • The 3 OD channels are great and you can get configurations for an extensive range: from a light blues, a dirty blues, hard rock and havier distortion
  • Great practice amp for small spaces, even better (way better) using clean channel to use distortion, boost, fuzz pedals to rock
  • My main complaint is the distortion or lack thereof, you can mess with the equalizer a

Reviews around hum (1.69 of 5)

  • However the hiss/hum is too prevalent - drives you crazy - especially with headphones and cant be used with recording mic or PA mic - too much constant noise.
  • amazing sound \m/
  • Amp had a bad, loud hum
  • Returned because out of the box there was a constant humming, hissing buzzing even at low volume and with no signal input.

Reviews around neighbor (1.44 of 5)

  • Speaking of which, although this is a tiny amp, you can certainly disturb your neighbors if you wanted to crank this up.
  • You can definitely get some nice distortion out of it and the mp3 hookup to play along with your favorite songs is a big plus, especially with the headphone jack to not bother your neighbors
  • This amp is exactly what I was looking for, to practice in my apartment without disrupting my neighbors
  • To avoid annoying my neighbors I either have to use it with headphones, which means that I have to use a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter for the headphone jack, or use the amp at low volume levels
  • Even with the overdrive channel in operation, you can prevent having the neighbors come for you with pitchforks and torches as the amount of distortion is separately controlled by the overdrive channel's gain and volume controls to prevent disturbing the neighbors

Reviews around hiss (1.00 of 5)

  • I've had the amp for about 5 months now and it has developed a very nasty hiss
  • (The amp has an omnipresent white noise sound which becomes an annoying hiss at higher volume levels.
  • Even without the distracting hiss, I wasn't impressed with the overall sound.
  • the amp isn't very loud for 15W and when I turned the volume half way, it stated hissing
