Almost perfect, LOVE it, though clean channel falls just short
I'm updating my initial review again after having owned this a few months now. At first it sounded SUPER trebly even with the tone control rolled all the way down to the point where I was considering returning it, but after a few hours of playing time the internal speaker definitely warmed up and the harshness definitely disappeared so I would recommend hanging in there with it. I LOVE the sound of the overdrive/distortion, it has a very full sound and a nice crisp attack. The delay adds a lot of variety with different settings, I was initially disappointed there wasn't reverb but if you put the delay level at about halfway with a quick response time it gives you a good approximation of reverb.My big gripe at this point is that the clean channel cannot handle my double humbucker guitar even at the lowest gain level. It's a Player Jazzmaster with two Alnico 2 humbuckers that aren't even super hot but they are pretty bassy, and the clean channel gets a very non-musical unpleasant farty distortion especially when playing the neck pickup. I thought it was the internal speaker breaking up, but I've played it through headphones and the farty sound is still there so it seems to be at the preamp level. It sucks because it makes cleans on that guitar just not an option. But it definitely works for overdriven/distorted sounds on that guitar, and I can get lovely clean tones with my single coil guitar.Even with the clean channel being an issue for fuller-sounding guitars, I still love this thing, it's super portable and I love that I can just charge it up, toss it in my gig bag and go anywhere with it (by the way the battery lasts a LONG time, I haven't been keeping track of the hours it's been played since its last charge but definitely at least 20). I absolutely recommend it, I would just wish the farty distortion on the clean channel could be fixed.

Useful in many ways and way more toneful than you’d expect.
This should be the biggest selling guitar home practice and recording tool around in terms of features for cost and overall quality. I bought it on a lark. I have a zillion options but play through this almost every day, I keep it under my home office desk.

Cool Concept But Overall Lacks In Quality
I got this item looking see some Orange amplifiers. Being cheap and Amazon adventurous I looked up some video reviews and bought this amp.Pros:Extremely portable it fits in my jam bag and I can go anywhere with itBluetooth is super cool it also acts as a speakerThe battery works greatI love the little pedals (when they work)Cons:- The headphone jack doesn’t work properly you have to jiggle around with it to get full sound- the effects do not work properly- you have to have all of the dails at 10 to get any volume out of it- FIVE months in it doesn’t really workI would not buy again.

Can hardly hear guitar
Weak signal from guitar even tried an OD pedal in front of it and a headphone amp. My headphones have dual inputs and even with the pedal and amp the music drowned out the guitar.Going in the trash
