Hi Terry,
If you are playing at low volume you do well to be cautious. I had an XD in my room for a while, overall great amp etc etc but at low volume in my opinion it was trebly and lacks the mid eq. Low volume and i mean low means thinner bodied sound and obviously not getting the best out of any amp. I have a Line 6 micro spider at really low volume so as not to bother 'er indoors' but unlike the Vox DA5 ( which I've had) it has Bass-Mid-Treble plus Channel volume so its EQ versatility suits me. People may laugh and when I went into the shop to look at it with all the other amps it looked pathetic and I felt like a fanboy trying it out. But I took a chance and bought it and have had it for over a year now. I'm not trying to sell it only to say that playing at low volume = sound quality problems.
