(More customer reviews)When I felt how light this amp is, I wasn't expecting much, but once plugged in, I was delighted by the clarity and lack of noise or distortion of this little treasure. The chorus, which I didn't expect to use (being an acoustic purist) is absolutely gorgeous and will be used on some pieces. The reverb, too, is very natural sounding.
If the amp didn't have a looper, I would still have bought it, but I was also surprised and impressed by the looper's quality. The automatic start has zero latency, and the sound is exactly what you hear from the amp in normal mode. It will be fun to use this for improvised layering on gigs. I'm buying a double foot pedal on e-bay: this is essential for live use, or any time you have a guitar in your hands.
I bought this device because I sometimes need to play outdoors, away from power: I haven't yet tried it with batteries, so I can't comment on its abilities in this direction: apparently the power (thus, volume) is less, but I suspect there isn't a powerful battery-powered amp out there, and this will probably be adequate.
I connected the 'line out' to an ESV powered speaker, and together these units make a gorgeous sound for solo acoustic playing. Easy to set up, light to carry, and superb sound!
It would be nice if the full range of controls could be used with the 'i-pod in' feed, but I guess I can always get an adapter/connector to allow me to do this.
I have had the amp for one week so far...
