 AWESOME AMP!!!!! Feb 05, 2010
By F. Hager
"3dgmetallicaAILD"
PROS:this is the perfect practice amp!!!!!! i love it!! i got it for christmas, and i use it all the time! i love how it has clean, crunch, metal, and insane settings! (my favorite is metal) this amp allows you to play any style whether it is country, blues, alternative, rock, metal, or deathcore! i am rockin' out to nirvana, ozzy, three days grace, skillet, guns n' roses, metallica, and evanescence! the effects are great, and you will need them for some songs. also it comes with a tuner, and a place to plug in anything you need to plug in like a footpedal or an effect box. it also comes with something very handy. it has a place to plug in your ipod, mp3 player, or cd player. just buy an audio cable at radio shack for $8. the sound is phenomenal when you play your ipod. this means you can play along with your favorite songs from the same source! this will take practicing to a whole other level.
CONS: the booklet it comes with is absolutely no help WHATSOEVER. the tuner sucks. just buy a chromatic tuner for $15. when you are on clean, it automatically turns on the echo effect, even if its off. to turn it off, you have to manually turn the echo effects knob all the way and back to turn it off. this can be very annoying if you dont want the echo effect.
Overall, a fantastic amp. Recommended for anyone. Hope this review helps.

Great little amp for not much money. Nov 22, 2009
By John R. Conway
I use this compact modeling amp for guitar practice in my living room and am thinking about doing some recording with it. You will not believe the amazing sounds that can come out of this little box. The Clean amp model sounds as sweet as honey, and the Insane model kicks-out down-and-dirty, soul-satisfying distortion. There are two other amplifier models (Crunch and Metal) that pretty much cover the gamut of electric guitar amplification sounds. All six effects sound good, and this amp is light enough to haul around easily.

By far the best sounding practice amp ! Dec 12, 2009
By D. Hogan
Read all the features this unit has. I can't believe the sound from this !!! Clean is very crisp. Crunch is classic rock Marshall tube sound, Metal is a cranked Laney &/or Peavey amp sound & Insane has that Mesa Boggie metal red tone for sure. All are adustable w/ tone & effects. each preset is nicely tunable with your pick up selector, volume & tone right at the guitar. It cranks too ! Gets nice & loud with very controlable tube like feedback. A must have ! The price is a steal & the case,speaker grill, knobs & buttons are very good quality. I give it raving reviews !

 Probably good for certain styles Mar 25, 2010
By C. Parker
Bought this amp to play along with a Squier Classic Vibe 50's strat. It has a broad range of settings and effects that can be used. I found the clean channel to be not so clean. Tried resetting the clean several times to get rid of the pre-programmed echo or chorus effect, but it still has a bit of distortion to it. The crunch, metal, and insane channels all have their uses, but I found myself constantly playing to get to the sound quality I wanted regardless of channel or type of sound I was shooting for. I accessed some on-line help to try to work in the sounds, but it still takes more time to dial in the sound than I want to spend (more time messing with settings = less time playing).
Overall, the sound quality was OK for a practice amp
I'm sure that some people would be able to work this amp well for the type of music they are playing, but it just wasn't for me.

 Sounds Dreadful. I sent it back. Dec 15, 2010
By D. White
I see that today this amp is on sale for $89 with free shipping, ten less than I paid. I'm not tempted to buy one, even so.
There are so many glowing reviews here that there must be a lot of folks who like the noises that come out of this amp. I'm simply not among them.
To give the devil its due: if what you want is over-the-top distortion, distortion so thick that it's hard to tell how many guitar strings you're playing, or whether you're a fret off in your fingering, this is the amp for you. There's certainly no need for anything more than an 8" speaker, and the sound would probably be unchanged if it was 4".
The thing has a lot of settings one can play with. The only problem, from my point of view, is that 95% of the sounds it can make are dreadful.
With painstaking setting, it is possible to find a few kinda-clean settings, although even the cleanest is flangey. Flangey can be nice, but it's also nice to be able to do without it. There are other buttons you simply don't want to push without turning every gain and volume control down first, lest you unleash a Chernobyl of overdriven mush to shriek out your windows and into your neighborhood.
My previous amp was a classic fender princeton I got in the '60's, which I just sold off since it was crusty-rusty, buzzed like a cicada, and its power cord was as brittle as last year's licorice. Its putative value was about $750, and I sold it on craigslist for half that, figuring I'd pick up a cheap amp off Amazon - which I did. This was it, and I quickly sent it back. I bought the Behringer GTX30 instead, at $130. Mind you, neither amp sounds as good as the princeton's tubes did, which I didn't expect to be as obvious... but I wasn't looking for miracles. I plan to keep the Behringer and get used to it - it, too, can be easily overdriven, but it has a broader range of "cleanish" sounds, plus a 12" speaker and a bit more power.
I have little doubt that some younger players will comment on this review, noting that I am probably senile and just didn't work the knobs right. Well, point #1 is arguable, but on point #2, I'm lucid enough to try the permutations on twisting knobs and pushing buttons, and I was horrified at most of the settings. (In fairness, if my playing was sloppier I'd probably appreciate the forgiving nature of the mush it puts out).
So maybe this review is mostly aimed at the generation which were teens with the Beatles were new, which I hie from. Beware buying this amp as a cheap gift for anyone living in the same house unless you lay down some strict rules about using headphones.
I give it two stars, since the knobs were nice and shiny and I like the company's attitude, and Amazon was very good about the return. I tried to like it, I really did.
