Took me a bit of time to understand what to expect and what you get in manual and patch mode. Got a bit confused. The on-line manual from the website helped a lot. Though small the amp goes loud enough for in the house and practice. I'm just a beginner so haven't fully explored or appreciated the full features and ability but just using the factory set patches give a great impression of the full capabilities.
