Published on 02/02/05 at 15:00I found this little guy at a local pawnshop and knew it was for me. I only paid $350, which isn't a bad price considering it is all tube. Plus, I needed a new amp and I had never owned anything but Marshall.
I love the clean channel. It is so pure but with the slight hint of dirt. Lots of headroom, this is so different than my Marshall. I couldn't get a clean sound out of that thing. Tubes make all the difference.
I play a semi hollow body guitar, which really sounds great out of this amp. The amp has some real depth in its low end.
Basically the reverb is not the type I like. I think that it comes with a spring reverb and not a hall, so you get this bouncy sound instead of a long-drawn-out reverb.
The tremolo is not the best sounding one but it is not the worst either.
The dirty channel is a little muddy. So, I don't use the overdrive. Instead, I use a tube screamer, which sounds great on the clean channel.
This amp seems to be well put together. My only complaint construction wise; is the lack of a tube guard. Other than that it seems to be solid.
I thought about buying a fender and other amps but for the $$ this is the best choice. You can't beat it. Hands down this is a bargain amp no matter what you think. The sound is amazing and with the right overdrive pedal you can have some killer tone.
