Advantages: Very small, portable, light, loud for the size, long battery life Disadvantages: Doesn't compete with drum kit? Hmm...
...even a bit of that marshall tone. Although nothing compared to a full 30W Marshall amp, it certainly isn't bad!
You have a input socket and 9V input if you want it to be powered by mains to the left side, and a output socket to the right. There are 4 controls and a little LED light on the front. From the left, is Gain, Volume, Tone, then ON/OFF switch, with a power LED to the far right, to indicate power on. This also dims if you put it on too loud.
... ...the amp up, which is somewhat helpful, and at the bottem back of the device is the 9V battery holder.
On the top there is a completely pointless fake handle, have no idea what the point in this is...
Overall, a pretty good portable amp. If you're looking for a good portable amp, which costs near to nothing, this is perfect! ...

Marshalls are very loud.
It's one of their specialities.. But from the size of this you can see that isn't going to apply here. Of course, you wouldn't buy this if you wanted a lot of quality sound. It really does excel in portability, and for its size it's got a relatively good sound.
The overdrive is just as good as other models around, but you should hear yourself, because different people prefer different sounds obviously.
Durability wasn't ... ...had no problems, very stable unit.
Of course, easy to use, a manual that's informative and covers all the basics simply.
It does look a bit toy-ish compared to my 50w amp, but then, that's bound to happen.
Basically, good for its size range. There are better, more expensive portable amps though... ...
