Great Amp for the Price.

Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
It's a heavy piece. Definitely built like a tank. As it's still pretty new to me I have yet to put it to the test of a 5 hour gig. I'm not worried about it though.

What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
I really like how Harkte offers a multi-tube preamp on this one as opposed to the many manufacturers that are offering these hybrid amps with a single 12ax7 and calling it a tube amp. That being said the tube driven overdrive sounds pretty awesome. I would prefer a little more crunch. The footswitchable gEQ is a nice touch as well. If you like features this is your amp.

How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?

Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
You can pull just about any tone you could want out of this rig. From crisp and clear to dark and muddy with the overdrive.
Finish

Flat black. Chrome accents. Pretty buttons. Heavy duty handles for rack mounting.
