Its gig quality sounds in a small portable package. I took it mainly for practice, but compared to headphone amps it's on another level of sound quality. Pairs with wireless controller (purchased extra). One thing to consider is how to keep it close to your guitar in a secure place. I got a pouch that ties to the guitar strap for that reason. For a gigging musician, you'd have to compare the pros and cons with a multi-effect or pedal board per your own requirements. I am happy with it
