iamqman « smallest tube amp in the world »
Published on 06/02/11 at 15:23I am not sure if it actually is the smallest in the world but it sure is very small for having not only a preamp tube but also a power tube. It doesn't use any amp modeling or digital parts just natural tube goodness.

SOUNDS
This guitar amp is really a great practicing amp that is very quiet and can be picked up and played anywhere. It has a switch on it go from 4 watts down to 1 watt and then down even further to 1/10 of a watt. It actually has a sweet breakup when you crank the volume up and turn he tone control know down. You'll get a nice British flavored distortion/ overdrive that is full of warmth and tone.
OVERALL OPINION
This is the perfect amp for these needing a great practicing amp or a great recording amp and doesn't want to spend a load of money acquiring one. At new amps come in at around $199, which in my opinion is a steal of a price. It is small and compact and will go anywhere with you. Don't try and play this amp at a show unless you mic it and heavily increase the levels from the house. If you need a great small practice amp with tube tone and or need a small amp for recording then this is a great choice.
