The amp is surprisingly versatile. Great range of sounds, with lots of "spunk" and "bell-like" sound in lower gain settings. Easily handles anything from blues to Thrash Metal. My only gripe is the volume taper: The amp is extremely loud even with the volume dial on 0.1 so it's not really fit for apartment use, despite its watt rating. The truth is that if price were no issue, you could just go straight for the 50watt version. On the other hand, I've carried the amp with me for several rehearsals at multiple studios, and it has served me well, I had the sound I like available wherever I was, with minimal fuss.
