Top Notch Amp

I live in an apartment where I cannot play super loud at any time I'd like. This amp doesn't lose sound quality when the volume is lowered. I love the headphones jack, I can just play in and play without bothering anyone if I so choose. The multiple preset knob is fantastic for quick easy playing. Negatives include: Complicated programs needed to download in order to use the amp to its full potential. It says "looper" effect, but it doesnt specify that you need an amp and phone in order to do that. If your phone or cable doesn't support Micro USB, you can't use that function. My specific phone is USB C style on both sides, so I cannot hook me phone up to this device without having to purchase an adaptor for my phones cord, all just so I can use a looper effect and play backing tracks through the amp while I play guitar over the top. Also the recording program that comes with this amp, seems like a nice program for recording and editing my music, but it didn't come with any form of tutorial in the program, (*That I can find) so I have yet to figure out how to connect it to the amp and actually record.,

Good practice amp

Face it, at 20w power, this is a practice amp. But, don't let size deceive you, this little amp can get loud! This amp replaced an amp I had that was at least 15 years old, so the new one has a lot of effects built into it that was not available 15 years ago. I like that. I have not used the program that comes with it(I read people were having issues with that, and I got this amp for practice). Even though I'm not hooked up to the internet the pre sets offer enough variety of effects to keep me happy(sample settings: Clean, Chunky, Insane, Ambient, Vibe, Bass, and Acoustic). Now, you may be wondering, all this good stuff you're pointing out, how come only 3 stars? There is a harshness to the sound I just don't like. I can Tone it out with the amp or my guitar, but then it sounds dead. I have had this amp for 4-5 months and I can't find that sweet spot that would earn this amp another star, or two. I do recommend this amp for practice but I wouldn't take it "as is" to a small gig(maybe there's a pedal that would help?) because of the harshness.

    I actually took the V20 back to trade for a V40 to get the metronome and the decided to also get the dedicated peal set-up. Works well for long practice sessions and for leaving it run, so I can just stop by for a quick session without wearing the Mes\Bogie's tubes out. Works just fine and is semi-portable, too.

  • Great amp for the price.

    Been playing about a year, so my review is from the perspective of a complete newbie. The things I like- Lots of presets, mobile app functions, computer interface, and loads of user created effects available. Nice and loud, but no real basis of comparison to say if clarity is better or worse than other comparable amps. Don't likes- The micro-usb interface. I had to get an adapter and it's just not as good a connection as nearly anything else would be. IMHO, micro-usb is far too flimsy. Connecting to PC is far more problematic than just using the spider mobile app. It's probably a little more complicated than it should be for a beginner, but it's feature rich for the money.
