Value For Money : Excellent
Modeling amp that delivers 0.5 watts to 1.5 watts choice or 5 watts.
AC power or batteries.
It has a microphone input and a headphone or sound card.
It has many effects, including autowah, reverb, chorus, delay, flanger, phaser ... Each effect or torque effects is configurable, which offers sound very very different.
If we add to that 11 amp emulations (2 cleans, 3 blues, 2 crunches, 3 highgains and a drive), it makes a very broad sound palette that is shipped.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, it said the manual is helpful to understand the settings of various parameters for each effect.

However, even without a manual, it sounds very fast properly.

SOUNDS

We can play anything, although some units may be distasteful. For my part, I play clean on 1 2, 1 and 3 blues, crunch 2, 1 and highgain drive.

The sounds are more than correct for an amp (and HP) of this size, with a preference for clean and blues. Crunches are quite nice, and distos are funny, but still sound great transistors (that said I still manage to have fun playing the metallica, then surely it's not that bad!)

Given the multiplicity of settings and effects, can also generate a good big sound boiled frankly disgusting, but let it be on purpose while fucking all settings thoroughly.

OVERALL OPINION

I played on a Mesa Boogie Rect'O'Verb (which sends the hell ...), and of course we can not compare what is comparable.
That said, I am amazed, this mini-amp has a versatility and a realistic sound that amazes me, frankly it is perfect for playing in the lounge at moderate volume, and without leaving a ton of pedals of all kinds.
An excellent product, and cheap to boot.
