Received as gift but it was bought at Guitar Center.

Pros include small size, easy to use controls. This is the amp I told my wife I wanted. I wanted it for jamming with friends in a small setting and as a pratice amp at home. I have no intention to use this as a gig amp.

Horrible manual. It looked like a photo copy of a photo copy of a photo copy and did a lousy job of detailing the amp. The amp seems to clip easily and distort when I’m trying to get a decent punch out of it. I’m glad the horn can be turned off because it does not sound good with my Ibanez SR800.

It seems to be built very well. It's solid and very nice to haul around. Great for home studio or jamming with friends.

This is a great pratice amp when I don't need the power. I might try it with another bass to make sure it's not my preamp in my bass causing the distortion. All in all I like the amp for what I'm using it for but I would not try to use it for any reason as a gig amp. Like Tim Taylor would say... "needs more power".
