I\'ve had this amp for nearly two weeks now. I bought it because I wanted something small that could sit next to my desk and portable enough to carry from room to room if needed. I also own a 2x12 tube combo that I gig with but that lives in the practice room/studio.

Although I wanted something small, light and portable I wasn\'t prepared to sacrifice tone and I read every review I could and played every different amp in this category.

I have to say that I was quite blown away by this little gem. The tones are great and help you get a multitude of pleasing and usable tones. I\'ve used my MIA strat with its single coil twang and it sounds good and also my PRS singlecut and the humbuckers respond very well again.

The effects are completely usable also and range from simple reverb to auto wah with a host of others and mixed ones in between. There is also the ability to increase/decrease the effect and the ability to bypass all effects. It also has a tap temp function which is very useful.

There is the added function of being able to store your own settings and effects although I haven\'t needed to go down this route yet as I have not fully exhausted all the tones that come from the many presets and effects.

The only down side is the sound has a \'boxyness\' about it which is only to be expected from the small speaker but using the line out and/or headphones allows you to hear the amp at its best. It also has a speaker out function so I might try and get it to run through a decent cab and see how that goes.

The boxiness is something that can be accepted, this will never sound as good as my all tube combo\'s but for what it is and the price it is, it sounds perfect as a practice amp. It responds well to pick attack and your guitars volume control. And it looks great too.

It's a great and lovely little amp, full bodied, well thought out. I play in bars and lounges and I also use it for, ahem...vocals. It probably wouldn't suit everybody's voice but it gives mine a pleasing slightly raspy radioish quality. That's with the mike plugged in the main input. Guitars sound fab in it too! (How 'bout that.) The mike input on the back sounds crummy and is pretty well unusable. The line-in doesn't sound very hifi either. A pity for sure, the not-swellness of these two features but the basic sound, the amp models and effects are really, really good and it looks smashing. If it weren't for the rear inputs low quality, I'd give it an 11. And I can't see why anyone would buy anything but the Classic model. Red with a metal grill? Not.
