QUALITY:
I'm very pleased with the overall quality of this "toy" amp. I got it for my son to use to practice tempo and the feel of playing with a "band". It allows this feature and much more. You can actual record 14 seconds of looped chords or whatever and then play over that as well. In that scenario, you've got the drums playing, the bass line, your guitar 1 loop, and your guitar 2 doing live licks. Great fun. Fender quality
FEATURES:
More features than will probably ever use. One thing missing (or it's there and I just don't know about it) is it would be nice to be able to adjust the volume separately for the playback vs. live playing. Tuner works very nicely. Great pre-sets. Lots of musical styles.
EASE OF USE:
Can't say I've learned it all yet. But the basics are very easy to grasp and begin playing various tones, amps, stompboxes, etc.
VALUE:
The value is good. Would definitely buy again.

QUALITY:
Mine has held up fine after extensive use over the last 6 mos
FEATURES:
too difficult to pick just one! The phrase trainer is killer to put your rythyms over their drums and bass. A lead player's dream!! Also you can play and solo in so many keys and so many different styles. I have gtrs in 3 different tunings so switching the keys is great for me. The metranome is too low in volume so much its almost unusable (too bad), and I wish it had a ten inch spkr instead of an 8. I have to prop it up on a chair to get decent volume but I am a band guy!!
EASE OF USE:
Its fairly easy to adjust the tones and drum patterns. The only question here is how much time do you want to spend tweaking as opposed to playing!! I run a Graphic EQ with mine to get a good boosted tone (hot rodded)
VALUE:
Completely!!! To me this thing is worth twice what they are charging and I'm surprised because Fender equipt is usually a rip of | |

Has tones I have been trying to find for a long time.The Blackcat pre-set is killer.

I haven' had any experiance with programable amps before this one and I was using it with very little trouble at all.

Some of the pre-sets I will not use very often, but the great thing is I can re-program them around to any other sounds I can dream up.
STYLE:
Blues/rock, Pop Rock, Folk.
MUSIC EXPERIENCE:
Amature
OVERALL:

QUALITY:
VERY well made. This is the ultimate practice tool for guitarists of any skill level!!!
FEATURES:
While the tones sound a bit "digital" in places, over-all you could create your own tone with the greatest of ease. I have never had more fun practicing or improvising than I have since I bought this remarkable machine. I am a metal player and , oddly enough, I found myself having a blast with the blues setting and accompaniment. There is something in this little wonder for any style of player.
EASE OF USE:
If you can turn a knob and push a button, you could operate this thing. The possibilities are endless with shaping sounds, amps, effects. You have a say in the accompaniment too. With 70 drum patterns to choose from, you could change the timing, beat as well as the key. The tuner is also remarkably simple to use.
VALUE:
I'd say it seems a bit steep for a 15 watt amp. However, if you take into consideration th |
