Good 80 watt solid-state amp (U80).

Tremolo effect with intensity and speed controls.

Gain control with a rather narrow gain range... An additional effect pedal wouldn't do any harm!!

The volume control has no effect from 0 to 0.4... but it's not that bad!

Bass control

Medium control

Treble control

Normal/bright switch

Instrument input plus pedal input.

UTILIZATION

I don't have the user's manual!

In spite of it's two 12" speakers the response has not enough lows... but you'll quickly find a good sound!

SOUNDS

It doesn't match my music style that well because it hasn't got enough gain!!

I use it with a Behringer Strat... which didn't allow me to use all the amp's possibilities!

I'm not a tremolo effect fan but it's fun from time to time!!

My current settings:

Low = 10

Mid = 6

High = 4

Sound = 10

For AC/DC sound, put the high control at 7.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for one month and I'm happy because it sounds better than the Behringer Gtone 108. It provides a good clean sound and a small crunch, and you'll get a lot more possibilities with an effects pedal! I didn't test many products but I don't think I will change it!!

Good value for money. It seems that this bulky thing was already live on stage!

I don't think I would buy it again in the future considering it's a discontinued product!! I would buy an all-tube amp!!
