I originally purchases the combo version of this amplifier.. unfortunately my house burned down before I ever got to play it. BUT - I really wanted the stand alone head, anyway - and as soon as I could I got it and I could NOT be happier with the purchase. I have three other tube amps that are higher wattage, but have selectable switches that act as a 'power soak' that doesn't destroy your tubes. I play them all on 1 watt as I kinda like my neighbors.. for now, anyway : } .I ABSOLUTELY love the tones this little tetradactyl produces. I am seeing a little bit of good in the fact I am playing it through a 12' green back celestion.. and it has some of the best tons.... Blown away.

Sound
The most versatile low watt tube amp I have played.

Features
The most useful features.. are .. there are NOT a lot of BS features... it's a simple 4 knob amp that will impress even the biggest knuckle dragger

Ease of Use
SO many good tones out of the head... from a very nice clean, to a harmonically dynamic overdrive

Quality
I don't play out much anymore, so I can't speak about the 'roadworthiness of the head.. but it appears to be built like a tank. If you play out.. and if your stage volume is good, this would most certainly work VERY WELL in small to medium venues.

Value
The absolute best bang for your buck, period.

I have had no need to engage support... that seems like a good thing.

The Wow Factor
.... what made me want this amp was, I had seen a lot of really great reviews for the 6L6 and Britt tubed 40 watt combos (maybe it was 60.. but I digress) and they were impressive. When I am going to buy an amp - especially one I had not heard of - I spend a little painful time on YouTube and others.... I can usually get a reasonable feel for an amp without much effort.. this one was absolutely everything most of the reviews said. Damned solid, simple, rock and roll god send.

Musical Background:
hit the road with bands when I was 14

Musical Style:
I enjoy all styles of music, and look for inspiration everywhere
