UTILIZATION

I bought this amp to use as a home practice tool. The mp3 feature was a nice feature since it allows me learn cover songs easily without needing to sit at my laptop. It's plenty loud for a small amp. I'm not so sure you could use it for most gigging applications but for the quick, kick around gig, it may be suitable.

Plug in, turn on and start turning the dials...experiment. In my case, I found about 50% of the sounds are good, 25% are just ok and the other 25% were pretty bad. I play a 100 watt tube amp so that may be why I've found myself fighting this amp. I'm used to a bigger sound. when an amp sounds good, I tend to play much better. My playing through this amp is average, which causes me to not play it that often.

SOUNDS

The 4 channels are laid out like this:
clean
crunch
metal
insane

The clean channel gives a surprisingly warm tone. Add a little chorus and reverb and it is VERY usable.
The crunch channel was just ok for me. It lacked bite and didn't give enough of a punch.
The metal channel is where I spent most of my time. You can actually dial it in for a nice basic hard rock tone or a crazy lighter metal tone.
The insane channel is just that...insane. Tons of gain on tap here. It becomes really compressed sounding and sounds like it loses some mids.

OVERALL OPINION

Like I said earlier in this review, I only bought this to use at home sparingly. In that regard, it is adequate. This would be an excellent starter amp for a young person who is big into rock/metal music and doesn't have the budget to go for something a little better. It will more than do the job and would work great for someone who is starting guitar lessons and needs something to practice on.

The sound quality is what you would expect from a lower level Line 6 product. YGWYPF - You get what you pay for. I can't complain though as I only paid $50 for this amp on the used market. It serves its purpose for me.
