SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is surprising very close to a Vox Ac30 cranked up. They have done a great job capturing the tone from a classic Vox amp and bringing it into a pocket amp. There is no speaker involved so you will have to plug it into your computer or headphones.
Grab any guitar from a Fender Strat to a Les Paul and you have the tone you need to tuck away in your office and jam until closing time. Since it only has one channel you don't have a lot of options for tone wise. What you get is what you get. There are no EQ options so if you like the tone of a classic Vox AC30 and need a pocket amp then this is your ticket. They offer different sounding units just like this to fit your personal tonal needs
OVERALL OPINION
I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants a nice little practice pocket amp and has a budget of $40. These units are cheap and won't break your bank too much. They are fun little devises and they have plenty of tonal options if the Vox Ac30 isn't your cup of tea.
