The older one was a 30-watter, Donny, which was the one I tried. I saw the new 50-watt model last week in the store, asked the owner's son about it, and he said, pretty much the same thing his father did - it's a practice amp for guitar students - nothing more - nothing less. He said he didn't think it sounded any better than the 30-watt amp when it came to sound quality, and only slightly louder, but not much. As for vocals through it - he said fugettaboutit!
