Do not let the 0.5 Watt switch fool you... this thing can SCREAM! This amp is extremely versatile, thanks to the onboard EQ options and effects, but the Boss Tone Studio truly unlocks this beast of an amp, let alone the Boss Tone Exchange, where you can try thousands of community-uploaded patches and experiment with them! It's pretty good for playing in your bedroom (it can get quiet enough without compromising the sound and you can use headphones too!!!) but it's also extremely capable for the stage too, thanks to the 50 and 100 Watt options! The overall build material is top class, It really has a premium feeling! Downside is, it is a HEAVY amp. Very heavy. Large, too. It's around 20 kilos, so you may need a car to transport it... and you may need to buy the GA-FC EX pedalboard at a later time... Overall I am truly happy with this amp..! If your budget allows it, don't hesitate buying the amp, you will not regret it! If I was to buy the same amp again, I certaintly would! Just make sure you have enough room for the amp!
