20 W transistor amp, 2 channels (clean and lead), 3-band EQ for the 2 channels.
4 effects: chorus, tremolo, phaser, flanger + reverb and delay
An entry for a footswitsh, a headphone (good idea)
Tuner (for which miraculously happened to be the market) and a "power squeezer" to play at low volume.

UTILIZATION

There's no simpler, one arm and his works! The setting its simple, no need for manual (which is in English, and my English, I do not speak very well). Everything works except the tuner, then it does not work well, and not at all, you never know if it's too sharp or too serious, his flashes of both listed and never be stabilized!

SOUNDS

The sore subject!

I play with several types of guitar, with single and double coil, and not ring.

On the clean channel, with a start type guitar (a simple microphone) there are still too acute, with a Les Paul type guitar (humbucker), we can not really talk about his clear, sound is not defined and do not react well to the attack.

The lead channel, not terrible either, the emulation are useless:
-The overdrive gives a very very muffled
-Distortion, bof I do not know what to say ...
Metal-its not sound bad, the solos go well, but there is too much treble (yes again). To be fair who want the metal sound is not asse "cold", but with a low gain (about 4) was a sound that has the AC DC sound pretty good at dessu, it quickly loses the definition .
-Metal stack, that is supposed to sound very bold which frankly is not as sa
Tube-drive, as for overdirve, the sound is muffled.

The effects are not of great qualities, they are live much too hard, impossible to adjust properly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use long lack of a better, and I've never been satisfied.

The régalge its simple, and there is a good idea as the headphone output, but the sound does not, shame! I can be harsh, my only point of comparison is a Peavey Classic 30!
