After a few weeks of GASing and getting a bonus at work, I went to Guitar Center and got my amp. The price on the website was listed at $399, but it was tagged for $349 and I used the money saved to buy dinner for my soon-to-be fiance.

Not to gush, but this thing is amazing. My friends are amazed the sounds that you can dial in with the built-in amp models and I love being able to show them that I can run the amp off my phone with no issues. I have some issues keeping my phone linked to it, but I suspect that it's a problem with my phone or the app being a bit buggy.

Also, I'm currently running it almost exclusively through headphones because I have neighbors above, below, on both sides and across the hall. One of whom has a two small children, but he plays guitar so we may be able to negotiate something.

Long story short, if you need a small, light, relatively inexpensive, versatile and just plain fun amp, this may be the one for you.
