(More customer reviews)I bought this to play in an apartment, and actually think I should have bought the 22 Caliber instead and saved some money. The headroom on this pedal is impressive. Into a Marshal 2x12, I can't risk dialing the volume above nine o'clock without seriously rattling the walls. The headroom is a good thing, however, as the pedal has enough horsepower to play bass through at least at practice volumes, which I have also done. It's also an ideal power amp for an amp modeller such as a POD.
I bought it primarily as a novelty of having such a tiny amp for home usage. However, as a member of a gigging band, I will start carrying this in my gig bag. I play bass in my band and doubt that it will have sufficient headroom for stage usage if my 350 watt bass head goes dead. However, if either of the guitar player's amps die, this 44 watt tiny monster should be fine to get us through the remainder of the gig.
I haven't owned it long enough to rate the reliability. Hopefully it will last for hundreds of hours of play time. Time will tell.
Lastly, do not even THINK about running the output of this pedal into another pedal or into the line in of a PA. Bad things will happen. The only thing you should put in the output of this pedal is a speaker cable into a passive power speaker rated above 4 ohms. EH warns the user in the documentation. However, I suspect some people see this "pedal" and make the mistake anyway.
