Seems solid.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
This thing is simple, and that is one of the best things about it. You don;t need to remember the positions of a dozen knobs and switches every time you use it.
Sound
How is its Tone?
Got the best sound ever out of my 2006 Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass (stock pickups, D'Addario Tapewound strings) with this head. It was like a freight train.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Easy to use, no thinking needed.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
I only have tried it with Alternative Rock, but it responded well when I switched pickups. Had some nice brightness when needed, but also was super deep when needed. Very cool.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Pretty standard.

I've played this for a little over a year now, without a back up, and it's still going strong, I expect it will last a long time with no issue at all.
Features

best feature is by far the tube preamp, and simplicity. If I could add something, it would be a post/pre switch for the line out. To compensate, I purchased a tube DI to run to the board.

Tone is awesome, you can dial in any sound.

SIMPLE, everything is right there. A foot switch for the bright and limiter wouldn't be bad, but not really necessary.

can be punchy, smooth, bright or deep. It's up to you and what you wanna sound like.
Finish

paint was there it's a basic paint job, but still good looking.
Action

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
this seems to be made exceptionally well, especially for the price. I would take it on the road without a backup.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
Best feature is the dual parallel/balance control. I thought that I would want to add a graphic eq, but the 3 band seems very versatile. About the only thing I would want to add, would be a gain control.
Sound
How is its Tone?
you get just about any sound you want out of this, from a glassy high end, or a booming bottom end. I like to play a lot of punk music and it rocks for that. My band plays some heavy classic rock and it's perfect for that as well. My band mateys have given me compliments on the sound already.

it is not a light amp, but for the sound and headroom, it's well worth it's weight.
Tone

the tube preamp is good, it gives a nice warm mellow sound. I've also played through other hybrid amps and was not near as impressed with sound as I am with this little amp.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
paint is pretty basic, but still looks good.
Action

no action on an amp, but.... knobs were all secure and not sticking
