You also have an on-board line out you can use through the P.A.which is an extremely useful and absolutely unheard of feature in any amp this inexpensive. Using the on board 8 ohm extension speaker output to play through a 12" cab opens up the sound of this amp considerably. The boost feature also got too muddy for my taste when switched on at very high gain levels.
For me, engaging the boost for solos didn't work as intended because I found the boost to be substantially louder than the base tone regardless of gain level. I find I prefer to engage the boost, set the gain, crank the volume of the amp to the desired level and work the guitar volume knob and vary my pick attack to get more or less break up and volume. If incredibly tube like dynamic vintage classic rock sounds are your thing, this amp is surprisingly tasty. The tone of this amp is surprisingly good through the stock Vox "Blue Bulldog" speaker. The tremolo and reverb are useful effects and also unusual to find in this price point. As with all solid state amps, it does get a bit "grainy" or "fizzy" at ultra high gain levels-so I would not recommend this amp for harder edged musical styles. The tone is all Vox-clean at low volume then that classic "chingy" chime and more grit as the gain and volume is increased.
(Sold Separately) The volume is surprisingly loud for a solid state 15W RMS unit-this amp should work fine for rehearsals and small gigs unless you are working with a very hyperactive drummer. Simply dial in the amount of gain you desire, set your volume, treble/bass and FX levels and off you go! The boost feature and tremolo can both be foot switched with the optional stereo footswitch. You have self explanatory gain and volume controls with a foot switchable volume/gain boost function, a surprisingly useful two band EQ consisting of treble and bass controls, tremolo speed and depth controls and a reverb level knob. The operation of the amp itself couldn't be simpler- it is set up like a familiar single channel class A tube amp.
