This amp is perfect for home practice and even gigging or recording. This is a monster in itself! I compared this with few others in the same price range by playing with my guitar in few local music stores and this beats the rest of them hands down. One of the competitors in this range Blackstar HT-1R Combo was close, but still not as great as this in terms of overall tonality and balance. The clean channel is way better in this Marshall one. Besides, this Marshall amp has an attenuation button to reduce to 0.1W level which is ideal for practicing. Checkout my quick demo video to have an idea how it sounds in a home setup. It's just my Yamaha Pacifica 112 JMX plugged into the amp and nothing else!https://youtu.be/m_tJir06S-o
