This is a great small amp! Very versatile! It can do nice cleans to nice high gain without getting muddy! has three ruby 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 power tubes to deliver 20 watts, switchable down to 5 watts or even 1 watt. Amp is loud enough to play a small gig or practice. I have power a marshall half stack no problem, rich full sounding like it would with a full size 50 or 100 watt head. Coll feature called Vari-Class can shift the power tubes from Class A operation to Class AB and dose make a good difference in tone like American to British tones Has two leds to monitor the power tubes on the front. they are green when things are working great and will turn red if you need to replace a power tube. much better to have the leds on the front instead of the back like some amps have it. Has footswitchable effects loop and an MSDI (Mic Simulated Direct Interface) XLR jack for the output -- with mic and speaker emulation -- to a live sound console or a recorder. There's a switch for turning off the speaker for silent recording. There's also a USB output that can likewise deliver a mic-/speaker-emulated signal straight into your computer DAW. I have many amps bought and sold over the years, this little amp is great among my favorite small wattage amps out there. Can do Clapton to slayer!

This little tube amp is surprising. I have played through a 15" Fender bass cab and it sounds spiff. I have played through an Orange 4 x 12 and it crushed. When at home it plays through my Mojotone 2 x10 w/Celestion anniversaries and is sweetness with my Wampler delay. Great distortion when driven and you don't need to turn the distortion up past 3 or 4. I use a splitter and share the load with a Super Champ x2 on clean with a slight delay when playing my acoustic and it kills. Versatility and tone that cannot be matched for the price. Won't break the bank or your back. This little guy likes lots of speaker area to really show off. I always use the 20 watt selection for the best tone and the USB and XLR outs are a plus. It ain't no 5150, but it does what it does very well.

Great little low power amp. However you will be surprised how much volume this baby can generate at full power 20 watts through a peavey patriot 4x12. On the one watt setting it can still fill a room. The Headphone jack is a great plus.
