Great for practicing!
Great little fun amp. I can get a great clean tone with chorus and delay as well as an Eric Johnson type lead tone. For all other type of guitar tones, look elsewhere: the crunch tones are very raspy to my ears. The effects are useable and I installed the bt-dual module so I can use the app on my phone which is very handy. I also use a footswitch for tap-tempo and the looper. It's fully featured for this price and has useable tones so for practicing it's great....

A Worthy Modern Successor to the Micro Cube
After using a Roland Micro Cube for years, the Boss Dual Cube LX gives me a very similar, great experience in a more modern format. The built-in effects are inspiring, I mostly use the delay, chorus, and octaver, which sound very good. The amp models are solid, and the amp is loud enough even for small performances. It also sounds surprisingly nice with an acoustic guitar.
It works well with headphones for practice, and in my opinion it is better in this regard than the Micro Cube.
Notes / minor issues:
The included power supply is not grounded, which caused hum with single-coil pickups. Using a Harley Benton GroundBox mostly solved the issue. The amp is silent when powered by batteries.
With the Boss FS-6 footswitch, the looper timing was not very accurate for me. The same pedal works perfectly with my Roland AC-33 amp.
The Boss app works via USB even on macOS Catalina, including the driver.
Overall, it gives me a similar feeling to the Micro Cube but in a more modern design. The price-to-value ratio is very good. Of course, there are probably better-sounding amps at higher prices, so it’s always worth trying several if you have the chance.

Solid practice amp that can do gigs
Got this amp as a gift from thoman, i normally play through a massive Marshall avtx100 so this wouldn't be my first choice , though i was surprised to find out the plenty features it packs and the surprisingly good and punchy sound it generates to the point where it can play a small gig or two

Good enough for a practice amp
Versatile and useful to have but nothing that’ll wow you in the overdrive models.
The clean sounds are crisp and you’ll definitely enjoy the effects

Great bedroom practice amp with busking potential
This little amp provides a variety of amp models to give you whatever flavor you’re looking for. It gives a full enough sound at bedroom volumes, but can be used with headphones and for recording into your phone or computer. It’s nice to have a majority of the controls on the amp for manipulating your time without having to use an app, but it does require the app/software for full control. It’s not loud enough for playing with a full band, but could be used to busk for solo playing. For the price it would be hard to find an easier to use bedroom modeling amp.
