Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a nice all-tube amp with a clean channel and a gain channel. You cannot play both channels simultaneously. The whole thing is well-made and solid. The cabinet has a plywood construction, all knobs and switches are firm. The spring reverb sounds good. There is a footswitch for switching between channels. At 50W it is obviously pretty loud. Thanks to a master volume control you have good control over how loud the amp sounds. It's reasonably heavy at around 50 pounds. It's a bit darker in tone and modeled more after a Marshall than a Fender, but the brightness button gives you the option of lightening things up, plus you can dial down the mid-ranges thanks to the three tone controls - bass, middle, treble. It is obviously retro in its styling and is a nice little boutique-y kind of amp.
The gain channel sounds pretty good - but this amp is not for heavy metal, at least not without a distortion pedal. The gain channel has a 'boost' switch that increases distortion and volume - I don't use the gain channel without the boost. Without the boost, the distortion is very mild and not particularly useable to my ears. I like the fact that the distortion is 'real,' coming from over-driving the tubes, rather than being simulated through a pedal. I have never had any reliability issues.
