It's loud if you want it to be...And, being solid state, it sounds the same at lower volumes...
UTILIZATION
It really depends on what you consider a "good" sound...For a touring pro I would say there is no such sound on this amp...For a bedroom/basement setup this thing is fine...Easy to get good sounds and easily tweakble...The FX are alright but you don't have controls over the parameters to adjust the sounds...It's on or off with a mild amount of wet/dry control...
It works easily and well...Nice speaker inside too....The manual is actually quite useful....
SOUNDS
I use a lot of different guitars and they all sound alright they this amp....Single coils can get very abrasive on this amp so beware...It likes hum buckers...
I hate that you can't control the FX much at all...They went through the trouble of adding them and then just hardwired some crappy parameters rendering the FX almost useless to me....
The EQ is good....Standard frequency curve...No surprises...
OVERALL OPINION
You get what you pay for....
It's easy to use, lightweight, and fun to play with...But not passable in pro settings....More than capable of satisfying bedroom or basement setups....
The sounds are far from spot on...They are mere ballpark efforts thru a solid state amp...You get what you pay for....
