If someone stole this I would immediately buy another. From Zzounds. free delivery, rock-bottom prices. My criteria were: Tone quality, loudness, portability, durability. I am blown away by the first 3 and have no experience with the 4th. Price was not a consideration but this was the least expensive of the line-up and I figured I'd try it out and return it if there were a problem. There isn't.

Sound
I bought this amp as a more portable alternative to my JCM800. It weighs just a little over 1/3 what the Marshall weighs, and I had a VHT cabinet that I'm using with it. I like tones from Cream bluesy, Hendrix-y, and a saturated Van-Halen "brown" through to a Metallica tone. I occasionally use a warm jazz tone and from time to time I play stuff that needs a "neutral" tone for effect processing. This amp does it all, without a lot of fiddling around. I had concerns that this amp wouldn't be able to deliver the tone and hoped only that it would be loud enough for rehearsal, since I usually carry my gear to and from. This amp is LOUD. Really loud. I'm replacing my Marshall for gigs! I have had it for two months and I still find things I can do that I hadn't discovered. I usually dial the tube knob to the middle, turn the volume all the way up and bring the tones up to the desired volume level. I back down on the volume for mellower tones. Turning the tube selector over 5881 does about what one would expect, and convers.

I don't care too much about this, and appreciate my Marshall's "two channels, one input" feature. There are some fancy features, like a record out and a few other things that I'm sure are really great if you need them, but SO far I haven't had the occasion.

Ease of Use
Plug in, twiddle dials. There is an instruction manual I'm told, although I can't really imagine what for...

Quality
Perfect. It looks just as good as the hand-built-in-America VHT cabinet it's sitting on. Came with a nice padded travel bag that has a zipper compartment for cords. Sweet! I plan to use this amp for everything. I have a Fender Prosonic I used to use for folk and blues stuff and my Marshall--I'll probably sell one or both of those because I really don't have enough room for 3 amps, and the Egnateris really working for me.

Value
This cost about half of what I would have gladly paid for it. If I were a young player going on tour in a van who was trying to decide what to buy, there would be NO question that this would be it. 23 pounds! Get a 1x12 cabinet and carry your gear in one trip! Go up and down stairs! Refuse to assist the lazy-ass drummer who never reciprocates in break-down!

Manufacturer Support
I'm giving this a 10 because I haven't had a single issue. which is the best outcome in my opinion, but things could change, I suppose...

The Wow Factor
I was on the fence about this--I was seriously considering getting a VHT or some other expensive boutique amp. I'm sure this won't last, but right now one of the great things about this amp is no one has seen one before, and it looks really retro and cool at the same time. And it sounds totally wicked.
