I have to say from experience that Raven's do suck big donkey balls! I bought one for the wife and kids to play so that they would not touch my gear, and it is the worst sounding little pos I have ever heard. Crates and Gorillas far outshine this amp! I use it as a work bench!
The best buy here in socal had better deals than GC. They had 2 guitar stands for 10 bucks, strings were 3 packs for 10 bucks, they had a peavey vypyr 75 for 259. And they are way cooler people to deal with.
