Value For Money : Excellent
It's a transistor amp with digital effects section (reverb and delay are separate and a button manages the chorus / flanger / phaser).
Conection very complete with emulated output (to avoid anyway, not super top quality) and a series effects loop switchable via footswitch or front panel.
You can add an additional external HP.
Entry mp3 etc. ...
50W.
4 memory channels (each with its own gain, volume and EQ own) and a Master.
Tuner (requires optional footswitch)
The optional pedal is amazing

9 / 10 because of the headphone jack that doubles as a line out and on which emulator HP is very poor quality (usually at Marshall, damage)

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, the only downside is that you do not see its setting when changing channel, thus forcing some to make small changes. But it's no big deal.
the manual is very clear, must be read before using the amp anyway, especially for the use of footswich and programming.
It gets very very easily with this amp sounds good, then if we try to make rock brittish typed, fine.

SOUNDS

This amp is super versatile, I used to play at home because my JVM remains in local recurrence. I almost thought for a moment to bring it to compare and transfer the JVM (no, seriously still remain).
In short, the sounds are very very convincing, for a transistor amp in this range, I would say it is extraordinary.
The effect section is somewhat rather weak, but it avoids having to beginners sounds too weird and difficult to configure.
The clean sound is OK (you can even do cruncher, but I would not recommend).
The crunch is a pure delight (without the dynamics of a crunch to lamps)
The overdrive is excellent, the OD2 and more compressed, to book for solo I think.
Each channel stores its settings, including built-in effects, effects loop, reverb.
It only remains to adjust the master volume to the situation. A delight.
I very strongly recommend this amp to those who hesitate for an amp in this price range, I think it is well above the competition.
The only drawback is that Marshall is a pure, no emulation here (actually I put in default but that is what led me to this purchase, because I hate low-end emulation lifeless at VOX-Line6-Fender and others).
This amp keeps personality while being versatile.
You'll understand, I love this little beast.
IF my JVM I loose one day in concert or just before (or lamps transformer), I'm confident with this little combo help, I get to do much with my job.

A MUST HAVE

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months.
I had a lot of amps (tube or transistor). I'll never make me emulators (though I had a Vox AD60VT home pretty well, but nothing to make it sound like pauuuuvvvrrrreee ...).
Transistors in the combos, I liked peavey (depends on the models all the same, preferably at Bandit 112 of 1990 and sent to 110 of 2002).
What I like most is that he is very versatile, with its crank is a killer, 4 sounds beneath the foot (or 5 depending on the programming of that same bracket).
What I like least .... good, say you can not see its settings from one channel to another, so boring to adjust a setting.
The value for money is good, without more, do not push it the transistor, but it's good nonetheless.
With experience and when I write this commentary, I would do without this choice a moment's hesitation.
I would almost even say that if I had not already JVM410, I might have hesitated between the JVM and a head MG100HFX so it's nice not to wonder if the lamps are well heated If the sound is good auusi this time because he is a little colder, or warmer, or wetter, etc ...
Briefly, the Happiness in the transistor with this amp.
