Features 7/10
Only 1 button for all effects (except delay/reverb). So you won't be able to have compression+flanger at the same time, for example. you'll have to choose between them.
Use 6/10
It's easy to dial in.. But it's hard to make precise settings of the effects or the reverb. You can adjust them with the "tap" button, but it remains imprecise.
Sound 5/10
I have mixed opinions regarding the sound. It's quite all right for this type of amp, but it's all relative. In absolute terms, it lacks elegance, it's very, very solid-state, it even sounds "boxy" at times, especially at low volumes. Speaking of which, I think it delivers a powerful sound for a 3-watt amp, you shouldn't be disappointed in this regard.
The independent mic input (with reverb) is quite all right. It's nice to be able to sing and play at the same time.
The amp's main strength is that the choice of sounds is very wide. Each of the 11 amps is very particular.
Do note that it's a bit noisy.
Overall opinion 6/10
It's really hard to have a strong opinion about it. You can't expect a product like this to have an awesome sound. I'd say this is an excellent mobile amp. It has everything you need for such applications, it's even hard to find anything more comprehensive: Sounds, effects, mic input.
On the other hand, for a fixed installation it's quite limited. You can easily find something better and cheaper.
