Tried in the store 10 minutes with tele roadworn. I receive mine in a few days.
Digital reverb, sounds great, a real plus.
Output selector 5-1-o, 1 watt, as in the Vox battery-efficient.
Hp 4 ohms apparently.
Very well built, beautiful, turn the knobs class short.
Gain more tone master plus more reverb, a manufacturer who has finally realized something ...

Purchased verdict six weeks later: Any good, actually hp 4 ohms (to connect an external hp I do not know if it dared to put an 8 ohm, I just 4).
The drive to the bottom, switch to 0.1 w is nice enough but no real distortion there.
The reverb does not affect the sound from scratch.
I put ten for the price

UTILIZATION

I see no simpler.

Update: the tone acts more like a spectrum than a simple filter acute mode adonf I gain the best sound of 5, comes in clean-in on 10, clean well balanced soft 5, jazz mini or 2. Well done, very practical.
The reverb is more standard, is thoroughly immersed in it but without the side effects of the spring, thus usable in any position. She added fat in the tone.

SOUNDS

It sounds great, very warm and smooth, with clean means. The reverb is superb.
Little gain available, is saturated with roadworn just let it not beautiful, kind and valve junior company, but without becoming dull, long live the master volume!
The tone is soft, max ca does not tear your ears but it gives the peps at Jazzland is min. Nice.

No background noise was good but apparently not at home either (coming soon).

Ben watt selector is like my Vox DA5 Battery, it cuts the bass and especially the size. Modifies its square, a good thing can leave donf ....

Update: It's actually very warm, almost too on another box, and this lack of pep in the treble (baja tele, lp p90, Ibanez in Kinman) and the definition. so I changed the 12AX7 to see, and the best result was a 12AY7! In clean means, in a distortion was rather bland in Mesa 12AX7 clean. Other lamps preamp did not provide much (Philips ECC81-83, Sovtek 12ax7wa, gt12ax7wc). Box of 210 (celestion g10p-80) is different, the mesa takes the cake in both compartments, curious.
Slight background noise, however, in the evening in the apartment it will not great (same kustom tube12, but more than valve junior head) I'm hard but good there.

With a distortion box in front of the v5 behaves really well (digitech hot head, ibanez TM5), very creamy and hot, it smells the class a.

However I returned on the same box 210, my faithful vox da-5, clearer and dynamic (yes!).

OVERALL OPINION

I Reposte soon as I played a few days with me and my guitar normal, patience ...

I had the valve valbee and junior Ben v5 sounds much more noble class, for the reputation of Bebert bin with their amps (vampire, GMX212, GM110, bx3000h, BXL450, GM110, firebird) have ever had worries. For the pedals is important to buy from net against

Update: It is clear, the V5 is the best little amp tubes I have had. What is also clear is that the 8 hp is great, very nice grain. Even clearer that a box that has the look of sound is required, such as dab.

Sound to the headphones (akg k240studio) is not pretty, but by turning the knobs it manages (in hp if you have sound with 6 gain and tone thoroughly, well in headphones need to gain to 4 if it saturates and the tone burst up to 5 if the tonal balance).

As with the valve junior is the best combination with the hot head pedal output mix, which gives a lot of pep to her even in bypass, is trying to adopt it. It works the same with the screamin blues or bad monkey, either.

That, in short, a great amp for its price, I recommend this purchase in peace.
