"Good amp for the price. It does have an unpleasant harshness in the upper mid/ lower high frequencies but it seems to be getting better as time goes on. It’s not a big deal to me as most of this can be EQ’d out with a decent EQ pedal anyway.

I bought the amp in hopes of it being a decent pedal platform because of the FX loop and it’s quite good for it. The reverb isn’t terrible if you don’t already have a decent reverb pedal. It sounds good with heavier distortion too with a more than adequate “chug” factor. Doesn’t crap out with high gain.

The overdrive channel is good for blues but, cranked up as high as it goes, it’s frankly dookie for metal as it’s lacking that depth- that deep-seated crunchy, deep-down digging, pick grinding depth. Luckily, with your favorite distortion pedal(s) it has plenty of potential for teeth-rattling depth and gut-punching palm-muted bliss.

It would have been 5/5 stars but that harsh frequency problem could certainly be addressed, thus the missing 5th star.

I’d still recommend it, as long as you get it at a good price point."

"1st of all I have been playing guitar since 2005 and own many solid state and tube amps from many different companies. I bought this amp after reading some good reviews on Amazon. I wanted a smaller combo amp so I could just grab & go to my 1st cousins house (another guitarist) for some living room fun practicing. I liked how it had an effects loop and speaker out features. I was so hopeful that this was going to work for me. When I opened the box, everything arrived fine and in working condition. I plugged in one of my guitars and the clean channel was decent, but something just seemed a little off in the sound. I could never find a sweet spot in the tone settings to my liking. I had to turn the bass all the way up as the sound was super thin sounding. I had to turn the mids and tremble down much because there was a weird brittle sound in the mid to upper range. I then tried the overdrive distortion button and I immediately did not like that sound. Very fizzy with that same weird brittle sound as I was getting in the clean channel. The reverb was actually pretty decent, it sounded fine to me. I then tried a couple of pedals I own and I was able to get a decent clean and distortion sound out of the amp. However, I could never get rid of that mid high brittle sound. I tried several different guitars and still same problem with the sound. So, I thought maybe the OEM 10" speaker just needs to be broke in and figured that might be the problem to the sound. I hooked this amp to an external 1x12 cab that I own with a very nice Eminence speaker in it. The sound was warmer and had more clarity. However, I still couldn't get rid of that weird upper mid brittle sound. Although it wasn't as pronounced, but it was still there. No way to get rid of that strange artifact sound. I said, 'Nope' this is not for me. I re-boxed and sending it back today. Sound is subjective to each person, and this amp sound was not for me. It is too bad as I loved the features of this amp and hoped it worked out for me. I think I will buy a used Peavy Vypr 12" combo amp as I have heard them before and they actually sound good for a solid state amp. Not the best sounding, but will work for my needs and they sound much better than this amp that I am sending back. A used Peavey isn't much more that the cost of this amp that I tried to like. My ears just didn't like the overall sound. I wanted this amp to work out for me as it had the effects loop and speaker out option to it as the Peavey Vypr doesn't have those features. But this Mono Price, amp doesn't sound good to me."

"This amp is almost worth the money. When I first played through this amp, on the clean channel, I could not get it to sound good at all. There is a sharp bitey-twangy sound, after turning down the treble and middle to 9:00, it sounded hollow. Using the overdrive channel, it sounds better, but it still needed to have the mid and treble turned down to about 10:30, but that treble bite was still there. After a few uses (I think the speaker needed breaking in) and turning the tone knob on my Squier Tele down all the way I got decent sound. Now I use a drive pedal and have the mid knob at 1:30, the bass at noon and the treble at10:30 and my Epiphone L.P. Special sounds OK too. It is a bit too loud for my small practice space though and might be loud enough for open Mic type use."
