50W transistor amp. The rest has already been said below.

UTILIZATION

I bought it used, without any manual that is no way the amp is so easy to use. There is a minimum, the higher the boost footswitch and frankly that their use is not complicated to understand. It deserves 10.

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock, instrumental rock, pop rock and punk chouilla and hard rock, all on a small Ibanez GRX40. In other words, it will not improve the guitar sound ...
In terms of sound, the amp really gives a powerful and clear (no more sizzling ground that I had with my 10w Ibanez amp). Besides, the sound can really be very powerful for a 50w, even without "drooling".
Side effects for cons, there really is the minimum + reverb (which is why use it with a Line6 Pod 2.0 ^_^). However the boost is great and the footswitch to switch easily from the clean channel to Disto.
In fact, the disto is exceptional, especially with the boost, and the clean is really clean and powerful despite what I've read such views on the matter.

In short, if you want an amp with great effects and sounds, go your way, but if like me you have a pre amp or effects pedals good and want a powerful sound quality, this amp is for you!

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought the animal used for € 130 all inclusive, and we can say that for this price (€ 280 new) ca is well worth a Peavey 112 in the same range. As I said above, the price / quality ratio is fantastic if you are looking for power, and already at this level it will serve you for your first concerts or events.
That's what I like most about this amp: its price relative to its power and quality. I wanted to change my old 10w amp that crackled all the time, and already a Pod 2.0 I do not care of the little effect of the amplifier. So it was really just built for me, and I recommend it to anyone on a budget looking for a powerful amp.
With experience, I would do this choice with his eyes closed, especially for the price!
