Bought through www used gear classifieds about 6 months ago. Heard it was a decent amp and the price was right - $200.

The amp has a great overall sound, not Fender like at all. The distortion from the el84's has odd harmonics that give it a nice crunch. The clean sound is nice, but again not Fenderish. I currently use it as a power amp for a Digitech 14d and with my Strat Plus Deluxe.

The only dislike I have is the lack of "chime" in the tone. I am very used to the Fender brilliance, but is not here on this amp.

The amp is well made and I recommend it.
12" and 30W from Class A biased el84's, 2 channels, reverb, & FX loop. The tweed covering is easily scuffed, but it is not too bad, but I think the black tolex version would fair better.

Overall this is a very portable and great sounding amp. The tubes are all original and are cranking along with the abuse it gets from constant overdrive. It keeps up well with the rest of the four piece band I play with.
