Amazing.

Wouldn't recommend any other amp for a beginner or for anyone interested in playing electric. The features for the price are literally a steal. A solid well built product.

Cheap, but powerful amp

Very powerful, i barely play over half the volume, nice space in the back to store all your cabels.

Cheap amp, BIG sound

This amp sounds really great for it's price, and it can get REALLY loud, atleast for practice situations it can. I really recommend it for metalheads, as you can dial in a pretty good thrash tone on it. Some people dislike the distorted channel's tone on this amp, but if you mess with the knobs a bit, you can get it to sound good. The reverb is also really good, very useful for clean tones and leads. Overall, this is a great amp, especially for beginners, or people who wouldn't like to spend too much on gear.

HB quality as usual.

This "handy" light & loud budget amp is my ideal stage partner. Real guitar sound with 'line out' in case of need for more. All works perfectly well with my sound system.

Enough with digital disappointment sounds, this is a true guitarists amp.

Very good eq range and, with (careful adjustments) , the overdrive has its own sweet spots, could need a trained ear to find.

I own some big name quality guitar amps, I've been 'guitaring for 61yrs now, but this little beauty is so refreshing to use. I even got the 20w version of this amp. Love them:-)

This is one small Kick Butt Amplifier

In the USA just buy a 50W+ step down transformer. These come with the proper plug arrangements for use on standard 110V 60Hz. Power for this small attractive amplifier is great. Free of distortion and reverb feature a big plus. Perfect for the beginner or advanced player using for practice or on the go. What a great value for what you get!

Good Amp for a good price

Too loud :) The only disadvantage is a small problem with one knob that is too stiff in my opinion.

Its decent for a solid state amp

Using in a small indoor setting. The clean sounds are really good, reverb is good as well. Overdrive channel sounds muddy, can get good rock sounds out of this, maybe even thrash, but metal and heavy metal sounds will need pedals. Tweaking around with the settings did not give a high quality sounding metal tone, but it is way better than the average 10w sh**box amp tone that you're probably used to from your beginner amp.

Personally, i would never buy this as a long term amp, tube amps are the way to go for that, the sound is unmatched. But if you are a beginner or someone who needs an amp for practice in an emergency situation, this is a good choice.
