This is a great bass amp for a anyone starting off with the bass. It is not complicated to get along with the amp as the use manual is very friendly with a bunch of preset configs that are awesome.The amp is very sturdy and does not distort at all with volume cranked up to the highest! Great considering the price.The tone is great ( I could get a meaty tone, funk tone, jazzy tone, clanky tone, all with just few minor EQ adjustments; Using a Fender Squier J-bass Classic Vibe) NO muddy sounds.I liked the Enhance knob and the onboard compressor. It functions very well. The compressor's attack is moderate and release is good. Enhance Knob boosts the bass without any distortion and muddiness.Also, using the line in feature, can put on a track on the amp and play bass to it simultaneously. for Good practice.A great overall package for small gigs and also home practice.
