As a complete beginner, I didn't want to invest much at all in my first amp. I just wanted to practice on my app without having to go through my audio interface. This is perfect for that.
Somehow the app does pick up the sound of my guitar when I use the amp but, to my ears, at lower volume levels it sounds like there's noise coming out of the pickups instead of out of the amp. At higher volume levels the sound is quite muddy but certainly audible.
As stated by others, this is definitely a home/practice/beginner amp; I can't think of a use for it in any other setting.
And the price is beyond reasonable but deceptive; you'll probably pay half as much again for a power source, even if you go to the river site.
