From a quick flip through, it sounds awesome. It sounds like a tube amp in lots of ways, including tube amp volume.
Once again, this $140 amp (free shipping - and seemingly brand new) sounds about what I've have expected from a $600 amp from the early 2000s. Plus, I'd have needed another $500 for pedals.
We're truly in a heyday of guitar.
Amusingly, just a few years ago they were proclaiming the guitar to be dead, saying that it was going out of fashion. There were tons of articles on the subject - even Rolling Stone declared the age of the guitar over.
Then, the pandemic hit - and everyone bought guitars.
As I've mentioned before - start watching the used market as things go back to normal. Probably a year or so after things are back to normal, watch for used guitars. We're going to be swimming in used guitars.
I have never had an amp that contained pedal sounds beyond a footswitch for distortion or clean
I enjoy modeling amps. They have a giant array of sounds and let me cover sounds that'd require pedals and effort to even get close to. While I have a Fender Twin Reverb, I really don't want to dig it out when the next few things I'm going to play should sound like they came from a Marshall from the 80s.
Of course, this is just a practice amp. I can't control it with a fancy pedal like I can a Kemper. At best, I can get a single button pedal that only allows A/B settings - so you can have two profiles and switch between them.
I am in my own bed. My dog won't leave me alone. He's missed me.
Being in your own bed after having been gone for a while is a great feeling.
It's made to give the beginner a lot of sound choices and thats awesome.
