Really impressive
I've been using the amp mainly for evening practice while my son's asleep, and I'm really impressed with it. I play it with my SG, mostly with the clean channel, and the amp fits the guitar jack socket fine with no problems.
Things I like about it:
- Three channels: clean, distortion and lead (overdrive-y). I mainly use the clean channel which sounds really nice and clear; the distortion channel has a good crunch to it. I haven't used the lead channel very much, but it sounds pretty good, and distinct from the distortion channel.
- Aux input. This is really handy for plugging my phone in to play along with things.
Things I don't like that much:
- The 'on' button is quite small and recessed a bit, which makes it a bit fiddly to press. You need to hold it for a couple of seconds to turn it on and off, so I've never bumped it and accidentally turned the amp off - nothing wrong with the button, but I just don't like it that much.
- It feels a bit plasticky in general, which is to be expected since it's made from plastic and is nice and cheap. Again, this is a really minor thing, and the amp doesn't feel flimsy in any way.
Other things:
- It has a few built-in effects (chorus, delay and reverb) with a couple of different presets for each. I used them a bit when I first got the amp - they sound fine - and then I've never used them again, so no strong opinion either way.
Overall I really like it. It's nice having the option of different channels, and the sound is great.

Lightly armoured yet packed with features and tonal munitions
Ideal for situations that require discrete/silent playing and for trips on which you can bring your quitar but cannot take your amp as well.
Pro's:
- (chorus, delay en reverb) x (clean, crunch en lead); lots of sounds
- Small
- Design
- 6,3 hinge plug
Con:
- small control buttons/dials
- Especially the dials, I treat them very gently as I suspect them to be somewhat vulnerable.
- Fits my Strat, Ibanez SA but on my SC, Ibanez RT, it kinda "hangs" down under making it somewhat hard to operate the buttons
- Not necessarily "affordable"
- Switching between clean, crunch en lead requires two hand opertion when the amplug is in the guitar (otherwise it turns around the plug socket).
- A more solid casing/housing would be according its price (delrin, alumium). Same for control buttons and controls; more rugged/durable parts (materials) would be appreciated.
Overall a positive verdict with some remarks

Not really what I had in mind
The item is inexpensive and does function. I wanted something for clean jazz sound and find this device not for that.
But if your into dirty sound it is fine.

Overall very nice!
Sometimes when using it while sitting, the dials can accidentally get misaligned if they rub against clothes or something, but it depends where the output port on the instrument is located.

Awesome.
This little machine is one of the best buys ever. It's light as a feather, small in size and packs a punch. 3 different channels easy to switch and some nice fx in there too. It's a really cool device. Well worth the very reasonable price too. It's awesome.

Not cheap but essential!
I have a Vox version and this is far, far better. Sounds great, very compact, works equally well on electric, acoustic and I discovered it also works brilliantly on a ukulele.
Get one!

Simple but sounds good
For the price I couldn't find anything else that sounds as good.
