20 w transistor with some emulations, a headphone jack, two channels, some effects (chorus, echo, reverb, phaser, flanger, tremolo ...) Everything has been said.

Regarding the characteristics, few complaints:
-Few models, when you see that a lot of competitors have 10-12, there is only 5 6 distos overdrive.
Questionable-Choice modeling: distos of 5, 3 are for the big sound: metal, metal stack and whose last name escapes me. It would have been more logical to put two or three distos rock and two "big sound."
-The amp is not programmable. Damage. It would be possible to record the sounds, adjust volume levels. Here it is impossible to clear sound with a distortion chorus with echo-free hack 15 buttons.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple, clear manual, to have a good sound, it is another matter

SOUNDS

Regarding sound, this is where the rub and it must be a rank amateur to find it good. The clean sound is fine, though very bright. Imitation "acoustics" is nice. For distos ...
The overdrive is very dull, hardly usable.
Rock the distortion is no more drinking.
Distos the "metal" does not sound metal, they are very messy medium and as soon as you push the gain.
The whole thing sounds still good synthetic.

The effects are decent, nothing more. Some settings are not easy to use.

OVERALL OPINION

Amp okay. It sounds loud enough to play with a battery light and feels solid and ergonomic. I regret especially synthetic sounds and poorly chosen. Finally the lack of damage modeling and especially the fact that it is not programmable, it would have to be 4 feet sounds very different. Competition brief Fender Mustang Peavey Vypyr 15 or bury without discussion.
