At a glance
- Three amp types are listed as Clean, Crunch and Brown, with an analog three-band tone stack for shaping the sound.

- An auxiliary input supports playing music from a phone or other external audio device.
- The phones/recording output is described as having cabinet voicing for private practice and direct recording.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The three amp types and three-band analog EQ offer several core tone-shaping options in a compact unit.
- Auxiliary input, built-in delay and a phones/recording output cover useful practice and recording scenarios.
- Battery-powered operation allows use where an outlet is not available.
Cons
- The 4-inch speaker and 7-watt output are a compact practice-oriented configuration, not a substitute for a larger amp when broader projection is needed.
