"Does what it does better than most."
I've used it to amplify my TV because I am a hard of hearing musician,
and to play practice riffs. It always works and sounds good, you can't bother people who are far away, right?
Sound
It reproduces the guitar with a real nice grung overdrive and it isn't too loud doing it. Isn't this what you want in a practice amp?
Features
Easy to use, no reverb, but it does have a gain knob, CD in and headphone out. Drive, level, treble, bass knobs.
Ease of Use
Too easy?
Quality
I have left this on ovrnight many many times and it doesn't get too warm. I have used it daily for a couple of years, it never makes a mistake.
Value
Super value.

"Worth the price. No more, no less."
I use this amp when I need to be quiet about my practicing. It also makes a usefull portable amp. As long as you don't expect incredible sounds from it, you'll be happy with it.
Sound
This gets simply an average in sound. What do you expect from a cheap-o practice amp? High gain overdrive sounds pretty good, but anything else sounds really muddy and toneless. Useless for anything but practicing, but that's what this amp is specifically designed for.
Features
It has overdrive and a little equalizer control. Pretty standard stuff here. Headphone jack is nice, line in is useless.
Ease of Use
Four knobs. Simple is as simple does.
Quality
It looks good and seems really sturdy. It's probably made of cheap plywood/paper mix crap. But who cares? It's a very solid little amp. One of the few things exceptional about it.
Value
It's a good choice for the price. Just don't expect too much from this little guy and you'll be satisfied.
