Published on 01/31/12 at 11:24THD is really known for their attenuators when you need to bring down the sound of a non-master volume amplifier such as a martial sexy. They have really taking a good hold on the market as far as attenuator's go. Now I'm starting to see more products being developed by his company and some heads in the mix. This is one of those amplifiers has a decent sounding tone based around EL 34 power amp tubes. This amplifier is a 30 w class a amp. It is a single channel hand built amplifier that has your basic EQ control knobs of volume, treble, bass. It also have an attitude job which is basically a boost and also it's famous THD attenuator bill right in so you can drop the volume down more usable bedroom standards.

SOUNDS
These amplifiers can be very British voice tones. So if you're looking for something that could be closer to the Orange amplifiers, or Marshall, or hiwatt amplifiers and this is getting a good alternative for you. It really didn't get the American clean tone or the American high gain tone I cannot hear from Mesa boogie do you really going to get a decent saturated British style sounds. So if you're looking for that type of tone and this is a decent amplifier.
OVERALL OPINION
One cool selling point on this amplifier isn't little lunchbox casing. This amplifier is basically a size of a small kids lunch box they were carry to school. These lunch box style into cars are becoming very popular in recent years because everyone's looking for a smaller road ready in mobile amplifier. And since it's only 30 W within attenuator, you can get some very low in manageable sounds for recording or for low silent style playing in your home or office.
