Almost got it right
| Sound |
Overall the amp sounds very good. It is not a modeling amp, so the distortion is created with transistors or diodes, but it sounds as good as any stomp box (like a Boss DS-1 to my ears). I will say that I have really had to work to get a sound I like. There is something about the interaction of the tone controls that make this amp more difficult to work with. I have found some tones I like though.

| Reliability |
Older Marshall amps had issues with the power caps breaking loose with rough handling (the leads were cut to short). I have no idea if they have remedied this. As a relatively cheap amp, there is a lot of plastic and I would expect the input jacks to fail sooner than later.

Great. I sent them an email on a Sunday night and had a reply by Monday morning.

| Liked about it |
It has 4 channels with 4 different voices, built in effects, reverb and echo, switchable effects loop (wow!), easy to program, solid cabinet, decent tone if you are willing to work for it, built in tuner.

| Didn't like |
Not a plug and play amp, cheap parts (included foot switch broke in less than a week), tuner only works with optional foot switch (extra $60), stupid "MG" logo on front ruins the look of the amp.
