I bought this little piece of power at Glory Days Music and I think I bought it for $370 (U.S.).

Anyone (yes you you little rocker!) anyone could hook this thing up and make it sound very decent.(When I first got it, I turned the bass all the way up on my Mexican Stratocaster and switched on the Crunch channel and turned the Crunch knob to 10 and the bass knob to 10 and everything else all the way down and it sounded somewhat "tuby") If you wanna be the loudest kid on your block this amp is for you! 65 watts of power should help in some situations where volume is needed and the price wasn't bad either.

The Distortion channel lacks something it is very hard to get a good quality punk-rock tone. It has spring Reverb so when you rock it back and forth, it makes that little noise. The Volume is kinda hard to get to where you could play in your room, but there is a headphone jack unlike Fender's 65 watt. Another thing is that if you want to turn the distortion down, the volume goes down too.

This Amp has a 10" speaker and spring reverb. I know that the actual casing is very sturdy but the only traveling I've done with it was to my garage and back. It is a solid state amplifier so you don't worry about a tube warming up and wearing in. It has a speaker jack, an effects line in and out, it has a clean channel(Volume, Bass, Mid, and Treble) and a distorted channel(Crunch, master Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble) and a reverb knob. A footswitch jack is also present. And There is a Headphone jack and a CD line in.

Um, yeah, a very solid amp but a word of warning: you'll wake the neighbors if you turn it up past 5

Don't listen to me though go look at one today!
