UPDATE 5/20/2010:
I’ve back-ordered another Rogue 10-watt combo amp. Okay. . . I’ve back-ordered two of them. Why? Because I’ve turned my original one into a surprisingly musical >$50 bass practice amp by bolting and soldering in a Pyramid Pro W64 mid-bass driver (polypropylene cone and rubber surround) that I purchased from Parts Express for $15. This was literally a ten-minute operation. What’s the point? An amazingly musical >$50 bass practice amp that will hold its own against any garden-variety 8″ x 15-watt bass practice amp currently available for less money and in a more portable package.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I own several guitar amplifiers. The good ones are musical instruments in their own rights. They extend and reinforce the subtle dynamics of my playing style and the tonal characteristics of my guitars. My new little Rogue 10-watt combo, the least expensive (by far) and smallest of the lot, is one of the good ones.
When I play finger style with single-coil pickups and the Rogue set “clean” at low volume levels, the bell-like overtones it reproduces are satisfying. When I use a pick and humbucking pickups with the Rogue set “dirty” at low volume levels, it growls appropriately. There’s a pattern here: low volume levels. Although this little guy is well-constructed relative to its price point, it is not road-hardened. It’s also not very loud.
This begs a question: if one is not a beginner on a shoestring budget, what’s the point of such a tiny, quiet amplifier? For me, there is great value in having a quiet musical tool I can use in the dark of the night when the rest of my household is asleep or when my ears hurt in spite of the Hearos earplugs I wear religiously. As such, I’d consider the Rogue a good buy at several times its current price. As it is actually priced, the little Rogue is one of the most incredible bargains in the music world.

I purchased this amp along with, a stratocaster, and a few other accesories, as a begginer guitar.
When I got the amp (which was earlier than I expected. . . ) I looked perfect. The amp, though small is beautifull It has solid silver nobs, and the soundd quality is great, While i waited on my guitar to deliver, I hooked it to my computer and used it my home studio music productions.

I’m no musician and this was a gift, but I have to say it’s received loads of compliments about the quality. I’ve heard it myself numerous times now and it sounds awesome to my newbie ears. I know this isn’t much of a review, but maybe it’ll help some.

This is a must-get for beginners who can’t rock out too loud because of roommates or parents that hate loud noise. By far the best small amp and one of the most affordable.

I bought this as an Xmas present for my seven year old who also received a Squier Mini Stratocaste for Xmas as well. This amp is a nice little practice amp and dollar for dollar it’s a good little amp. I think you would be hard pressed to find an amp this capable for the money. Remember it’s just a 10w practice amp.
