Comments:
I bought this amp, because I play both acoustic guitar and bass. This amp is a 100W, 3-channel amp. The first channel is designed for acoustic guitar, the second channel is designed for bass, and the third channel is designed for keyboard or voice. Each channel has its own volume, tone control and effects. Different effects can be used with each channel.
It's designed for acoustic guitar, but my electric also sounds good through. I would definitely replace it if stolen or lost. I don't think it would function well for large venue gigs at all, but for small room or low volume stuff (like church), it's got all the power you need. Favorite aspects are the versatility, sound quality and multiple channels for a decent price. Worst aspect would probably be power, but it's only a 100 W amp. This is a great jam amp, and it is also super for the guy who is split between insturments (bass and guitar).
I gave this amp a 4 for sound only because I don't have a lot of experience with comparably priced amps. However, I have had a few friends try it and they really liked it, so it might warrant a 5. The acoustic guitar sound is very good.
Early versions of this amp had reliability issues, but I've had none in a year's time. However, since I'm pretty easy on the amp, I only gave it a 4 because of the earlier reputation.
