Subject:Awesome little tool. No regrets.
Quality: Seems pretty solid all round to me. Plastic around the edges looks like it can withstand a lot of abuse. Knobs out of the way and protected.
Features: They're all listed in the description. I'll add that the FX are all surprisingly musical sounding and work well. There seems to always be a bit of compression on, but hitting the button gives some real thump that I love. Beats are good for practice and inspiration. My only problem with the beats is that you can only program speed with a tap tempo, and if you shut the amp it goes back to a defaulted speed. Being battery powered makes it worth so much more to me than any other practice amp. Gives me the ability to take it anywhere and the charge (I use rechargeable batteries) lasts for hours. Only other battery powered amp I know of has nowhere near the options, the charge didn't last as long, was a lot less portable, and the battery died on me after a couple of charges.
Sound: Lots of options, there's got to be something there to make anyone happy. Seems to favor bass and mids. A tad more highs would be nice but there's enough there for me. Volume is a lot more than you'd expect for the wattage. Enough to carry through two somewhat amplified acoustics at a rehearsal. Not loud enough for a gig without micing it. Drum kit would proably squashi it. Perfect for practice with myself.
Reliability: No problems in the past 6 months. I use it every day.
Overall: No regrets. Like it way more than any practice amp I've owned before it.
Value: The price weems right about where it should be for what this has to offer.
