What's great about it: It says Marshall
What's not so great: It doesn't sound like a Marshall
I got this and hard to return it and went for a Vox.
I have a Gibson Les Paul and had the thought in my head about getting a Marshall amp for the Les Paul, as they are basically made for each other right?
Well, not sure what this amp is made for, but they didn't have a Gibson in mind. Maybe for the cheap learn me leave me guitars they sell for $10 bucks at toy's r us or something.
Doesnt have that mellow tone for a marshall, it actually felt like it was hurting my ears it was so bring. Maybe I had a dud. Who knows.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It works
What's not so great: It's not made of gold
It's a string winder. It works just as it should.
The only thing that I wish was better was for acoustic guitars. The little scoop is hard to use on my acoustic to pull the pins.
Also with my grover tuners I would wish it was a little tighter fit, but I understand it's a universal not a brand specific.

What's great about it: Its a VOX
What's not so great: Not Tube
Nice small combo amp. Baby brother to the Pathfinder 15 which is one heck of a nice amp.
This is one is about the same, but just not as powerful. Can hold a concert with it, but you can definitely use it in the confines of a small room to practice with.
You don't get the nice and warm tube sounds, but this is like that little train that could. It really does give it a good shot.

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Ends come loose
So, I loved the look of these cables. If you are into that tweed retro look, this cable will do.
The price is good for the length. The cord is durable enough to where it doesn't fray and hand strands all over. It has the velcro that I use to loop the cable and attach it to amp, usually on the handle, so that the tension on the cable is not so bad.
What is not so good is that the 1/4" jacks are not permanently attached. I mean that you can unscrew them if you wanted. And even if you didn't want to, they start to work themselves loose after time and you have to check them every once in a while.
Would definitely buy again, just hope I wont have to. :)

Wolfenstein: The New Order Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Have you ever asked yourself what our world would be like if history had unfolded differently? Have you ever wondered what would happen if one link in the chain of events was reversed? What if, for example, the Nazis had won World War II? The answer is that the face of this planet would be forever changed, irrevocably damaged. The year is 1960 and the worst has happened. The Nazis turned the tide of World War II in their favor with a new, mysterious brand of advanced weaponry that, along with unrelenting force and intimidation, brought even the most powerful nations to their knees. Who among this conquered planet has the courage to stand up to the merciless regime? What man has the guts and the skills to save the world from the grip of this iron fist? You are B.J. Blazkowicz, American war hero, and you are the only man capable of rewriting history. Only you can save us all.Launch the most daring counter-offensive in history in Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game that puts you up against oversize Nazi robots, hulking Super Soldiers and elite shock troops in intense first-person combat. Break into hidden research facilities and heavily guarded weapons stashes to find out where the Nazi's advanced technology came from, and level the playing field by upgrading your own tools of destruction with what you find. From mountaintop car chases to underwater exploration, Wolfenstein: The New Order cultivates an unbelievably exhilarating adventure with high-octane action and an immersive game narrative, created by a group of seasoned developers at MachineGames and rendered in stunning detail with the id Tech 5 engine. So if you think you have the heart and the daring of a hero, go up against this terrifying Nazi regime and restore history to its rightful place.

What's great about it: Memories. Graphics. Smoothness..
What's not so great: Interface.. control...
So, this is a good game. Not great.
User interface could use a little upgrade, but the graphics and smoothness is all there. I was hoping it would remind me more of the old wolfy... but not so much.
It's okay, its a great time killer because you can end and resume from where you left off with no need to think much. But, once the next game comes out, I may be putting this on the side for when I am bored.

What's great about it: Price point.. Wifi Sub.. Bluetooth streaming...
What's not so great: Open speakers. Limited connections.
Bought this for my dad so that he can replace his ancient surround sound system. Wanted something simple and trouble fee so I opted to try this out for him. He already has an LG LCD so I thought, lets keep it in the family.
Setup was pretty easy. Even the wifi subwoofer connected no issues.
I wish it had more than 2 optical connections. But, using the ARC on the TV, I think we can get it to work right.
Sound is pretty good. Not thundering or 3D, but decent bass and the surround sound kinda works. But the system is good enough to hear and feel the show you are watching.
Not audiophile caliber, but works great for bedrooms, garages, or small spaces.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can I program my directv remote to this sound bar?

Maybe, but more than likely yes.

Yes only if your DriecTV receiver has an optical out. Not all the older models had one.

The other way would be to connect the receiver to the TV and TV to the box and use the ARC capabilities of the soundbar.
