I bought this amp mainly to practice at home (since my main amp is a 100W beast which I cant turn on without pissing off all the neighbourhood, use only for live gigs).
It fills its purpose very well, as you can get a decent tone out of it without having to shake the walls your house. It only has 2 channels but the EQs and gain knobs are good enough to get a great range of sounds from cristal clean to high gain overdrive (you also have the mid boost function which is pretty good if you want play some lead).
It Also has an FXs loop which is good if you like experimenting with your pedals/pedal board at home, It can take a few pedals together without having a muddy sound, like other small/bad amps do.
This amp could easily be used live in a small venue and plugged on a bigger cab rather than the 10 inch cab that you would probably get it with.
