UTILIZATION

This is an entry level amp, and very easy to use. We choose the channel is adjusted gain / volume, a little bit of equalization, and go!
So very easy to use.

SOUNDS

To be clear, this amp is recommended for small new guitar.
I always played metal, and obviously it's a bit limited.
Although with a good setting, we can get a cool sound
(Eg its widened in many mediums with sharp and well gives a punchy rhythm to a)
For lead guitar virtuoso, the distortion is too biting to gallop.
But will be enough to advance.
But this is not the primary purpose of this amp ...
Also the reverb is missing .. the model just above (the blazer 158) has a reverb.
This is especially clear that the lack of reverb will unfortunately feel ..

OVERALL OPINION

This amp was my first amp. I do not use over a long time. Nevertheless, it still works perfectly (10 years anyway). It's very good gear, reliable.
Also if I drafted this notice, to respond to a request for an opinion.
As stated above, I do not play on this amp since looooongtemps ..
So I try to get back into the shoes of a start to be objective.

So to summarize, it's tough, intuitive and perfect for beginners.
I put a 9 because it lacks the reverb, but for this there is the 158 blazer.
It is not an error on the part of peavey.
