Review
I have owned this amp for a few years and have yet to find one in the same class that i appreciate just as much. The overdrive channel is amazing imho for the wattage. This won't quite cut above drums, but it is loud for it's size. It has been kicked around and dropped and has held up great through the years.

Summary
For the price range I would definately reccomend this amp to any beginner to anyone who wants something to practise with. Props to Jim and the gang for creating an affordable practise amp for us.

I just sold a Marshall micro-stack which had essentially the same guts.

It looked small next to my TSL100/4x12 but sounded great considering the price (it was 10 x cheaper !).

I agree wholeheartedly about not having a foot switch to change channels. I used to use a stomp box. Worked well but just not quite the same.

I use to have the mg10cd. It was the little one with the 6.5" speaker. I can definitely vouch for it's massive tone for such small amps.
