Have had the pleasure of using this machine daily since January '23.
Use it for practice at home, small jams in pubs and as a Bass amp (!) for a uke workshop in a small hall. It stands the test of time for my needs.
The thing is built like a bullion box, 4.5 kilos so not difficult to transport.
The handles are a bit strange and slightly ungainly, but at least they won't wear or rip off when you don't want them to.
The modulation suite is a bit basic giving you only 2 at once but adequate and pleasing.
Amp type choice is the standard range, acoustic through to death metal, the first 3 or 4 are all I need though.
The Amp type selection 1 to 10 is a little mystifying, not much difference between 1 and 10.
Gain and volume work normally, high gain does have a bit of an annoying over fuzz, but you'll be OK if metal is your ting.
2 channels switched by button 1 on the footswitch (included, Boss are you listening?) so easy changeover on the go, plus it saves the settings when you switch off.
Drum unit is OK, probably only half of the 32 rhythms you will ever use and there's only trial and error in finding where they are on a rotary dial the goes round twice, fun searching though!
Power saving works overtime, goes to sleep if there's no signal in 4 minutes, seems to turn the amp settings down if there's nothing happening for a while and you sometimes have to touch the gain knob to wake it up, but the battery is good, 4 or more hours before it's exhausted, longer if you're moderate with the volume, brilliant.
With all this they throw in a looper, button 2 on the footswitch, standard looper operation, pretty good and synced with the rhythm unit, but it doesn't record the drums(?) downside is it's only 30 seconds, 60 would have been nicer.
Everywhere I use it it blows other players away for it's sound quality and variety, astonished at its power and volume for a 15W.
I use mainly electro acoustic and it's brilliant at that even though it's not declared as an "acoustic" amp it does have a pretty good range, even sounds great using a bass uke.
Wouldn't be without it.
