When it came out of the box i was shocked it was 30watts strong being caught in such a small "box".. plugging it in showed me that i was not wrong to give it a go with this little beast..excellent for smaller gigs and home practice if you ask me.very light weighted,only negative thing on the design of this amp is its handle on the back..if you have bigger hands it is safer to hold it on the sides. When you take all in consideration,this is a great value for money.
