ok, I have played around with the amp a little now. It sounds pretty good. It is gets loud for 5 watts. I was expecting a little less volume, but it is loud enough to bother the wife if I crank it.
It holds clean pretty well, but will get a fair overdrive if you push the gain knob. I am getting most of my distortion from a pedal, though. I wish it had reverb built in, but it does take the pedals well and using effects have sounded pretty nice.
Is it a really high end amp? No. But it does sound really nice for practice and is loud enough I can even use it at band practice too. It is considerably worth more to me at this point than the $60 or so I wound up paying.
