Every serious player has at one time or another searched for an affordable practice amp that is more than a one trick pony. Most that are small and portable lack efficiency and have horrible tone at any volume level other than fully cranked, which defeats the purpose. The Five Star amp design went through many circuit changes and modifications during the prototyping phase and the end result is nothing short of stunning. It produces very articulate string definition and great sustain at any volume level. Clean and overdriven tones are complex and very musical. This small package packs a huge punch and can drive any extension cab with volume you wouldn't expect from something this size.
