I've owned this amp for over a year now, and I still play it everyday. It's such a great amp. I get the same feeling I got when I plugged it in for the first time every time I play it. It's tone is excellent. It breaks up super easy, and it man oh man, it is LOUD! I wasn't expecting a 1watt amp to be this loud. And like most tube amps, it sounds best cranked to 11. It's basically a one channel amp with an overdrive switch. Without the overdrive engaged, it still breaks up full on AC/DC with the gain on.. You have to roll the gain almost all the way off and the volume about halfway to get even close to a clean tone. Then press the overdrive switch and it's full on tube madness. The ISF is the only thing I don't like about it. It really limits it considering that's all you have EQ wise. I keep mine set all the way to the left (USA.) I think the the British side is wayyyy too mid-y. But it still sounds great at least all the way to the left IMO. I buy, sell, and trade a LOT of gear, and this amp is one I've never considered letting go of.
