Could be wrong. Anyway, I'm with Roland (in comments, not the hardware maker) that I'm suspicious of digital amps. But this is a little tiny practice amp, anyway, and for what it is -- at the price -- my standards would be much lower.

I never liked the idea much though I have a Roland cube at the reahearsal space... OK to amplify the guitar but otherwise, the sound ain't too great...

Umm, I think that time was about 1996 when Line 6, Johnson, and H&K came out with completely digital modeling amps containing amp models and digital effects. “It was only a matter of time before the features of virtual software amps hit digital hardware”.
