This is an ideal practice of recording amp. It comes in at 5 watts and has a solid Fender tone reminiscent from the 50's and 60's. It even looks like it was from the 50's. This is a cool little amp for those guys who like a nice clean tone that sounds like a small little Fender champ amp from the 50's.

SOUNDS

For me the only real use I see out of this thing is if I wanted some mild overdrive or basically a clean small box Fender amp for recording. The cosmetics of this amp are very cool and nostalgic, but that is where I leave it. The amp takes pedals really well and being a tube about for the price it is makes the sound from your wallet a lot more pleasing.

This amp takes guitar and effects really well. It does sound small when you play in since the speaker is only 6inches. The amp only has one control knob and that is volume. It has two inputs for high and low. You can get some dirt on your tone if you have it full blast and at 5 watts it's not going to be that loud.

OVERALL OPINION

I like this amp for recording. At new they come in at around $170 which is a cool price for a great sounding tube amp. I would recommend this to anyone needing a small tone for practicing or recording. It is a great buy for the money and will serve anyone quite well.
