Quite decent as bedroom/rehearsal amp with the Orange sound
The pedal amp is quite small and built like a tank. Looks like it can withstand a ton of abuse physically and my unit had no problems whatsoever out of the box. The sound through a cabin (I use it with a 1x12") is very nice and can get loud enough for rehearsing. There is a lot of gain on tap, making it ideal for hard rock/metal, with the rich, Orange sound.
Where the amp is lacking a bit is in features. It has two channels, however they share the same gain and tone settings, with the volume being the only differentiator - not really practical. It lacks an aux-in input (or Bluetooth) and the cabsim sound is really weak. My fix for this was to use the send of the amplifier to an IR loader and connect my headphones to the amp loader, bypassing the built-in cabsim. This improves the headphone playability dramatically and makes silent practice extremely pleasant. With the above being said, this is an extremely easy to use amplifier.
Overall, pair this amp with a cabin or an IR loader and you will be more than satisfied. Weak cabsim out of the box though.
