Nice! i am loving mine

I'll give it a whirl after I drop my car off at the extortionist tonight. I gotta find a longer speaker cable so I can sit it on top of my other amp.. It definetly looks quality though, fit and finish wise! I didn't even know it came with an itty bitty footswitch..lol

ha yeah, the footswitch is cute, the footswitch cable length is a problem, but I used a headphone extension cable to get it longer. Its really a neat amp. I really think the drive can sound quite warm and ripping, specially when dialed to the british side of the isf, it then can be dialed to more tight, slightly more metal and cold I guess just with the ISP. I prefer the british side for the most part. I am gonna be using this as my main amp for a little bit, its just fun to play, effects loop works really well, didn't notice signal loss or sound loss at all, and the -10, + 4 switch is awesome, really, one of the most well thought out budget amps I have ever seen. It doesn't sound as Big or open as my rack and power amp setup, but dang if it isn't close, and I actually prefer some of the sounds on this tiny amp

enjoy, and happy b day

from the vids I've seen it seems as if it rips pretty good! should sound good through my greenie loaded cab..once I get more room I'll hook it up to my 2x12 to have a little mini quarter stack of doom

thanks! It's actually not till saturday, but the UPS guy didn't know that

Are you going to be ok without those annoying mids.

 

[Marshall Law]

great little amp, best bang for the buck IMO

actually the IFC knob allows me to dial in just enough weirdness to satiate my palette

ditto..honestly don't know what else you could get in the price range that would be 'better spent' money....amp or otherwise

 

[shreder75]

holy sh!t this little thing rocks!!!!

five watts of awesome right here, people...this is $299 well friggin' spent I can tell ya that

anybody looking for a portable little tube rig, or backup head or practice amp should definetly look into one of these things...

clean sounds good, gain channel's nice with plenty of tonal options with the IFC switch (which kinda works like a contour knob) and a great effects loop....

for the price of some cork sniffer pedals you can get a kick ass little tube amp!

Yeah that thing is a terrific little amp! I need to hear it thru a real cab. I only played my brother's HT-5 combo...
