nice! Love that they used 6L6's if I'm honest.

 

[Chris6870]

I want to try one. At $650 I wonder if it's made in USA?

 

[LunatiBSW]

I don’t see how they could make it in USA at that price.
But.... I hope it sounds like a 15w uber. This would be my practice amp if so

 

[Terex]

Niice, I'm very interested in this!

 

[mooncobra]

looks like the Victory amps. They fit a lot into a small package like this also. the Ritchie Kotzen model is similar to this size I think?

It's made in China.

I've never seen a 15w tube amp with a pair of 6L6's. This is dope as hell!

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

I'm with you.. EL84's are great and all but sometimes the bigger amps just sound bigger because of that bigger glass. Hopefully other builders will follow suit.

15w heads dont make a whole lot of sense to me, still going to be way to loud for "home" use and wont cut it with a full band.

You played a 15 watt in full band formation?

I played the 5150 III 15 watt lunchbox for a couple of weeks during bandpractise, it was more than loud enough, very capable!

I like the idea of it. I think Tremonti has a lot of fans that wouldn’t buy a big expensive amp, but he gives his stamp of approval to something they would buy. But it does need to sound good.

And seriously where is the Tremonti 7 string sig?

Yep,I had one and they sound great when maxed out,I believe could work in a band setting..I like this one coming out,I am a fan of 6l6 amps..looking at my favorite gear retailer for it now .

Shows delivery of May. Hope you're patient! I actually am somewhat intrigued with 15 watts from 6L6s. Feature-wise, I dig it!

 

[Steinmetzify]

6 preamp tubes?! The 120w 6505 has that....this thing is gonna sound huge.

I used a 6505 mini which is 20 watts I believe with a loud band and in hung in there.

I don't know ,Mark is a picky bugger when it comes to tone and this has been in the works almost 2.5 years.

I think it may easily sound as good as the Archons ,they are promoting that it punches and has the aggression of a 50watt. I find it hard to believe like you guys

but lets see

 

[Hartattack1090]

Really pumped about this. Was torn between a 6505MH and an Archon 25 combo for just playing at home. Now I can get the best of both worlds in the lunchbox head and a killer "Archonish" tone.

at volumes that won't kill your neighbor's cat. Also sold separately is the MT 1x12 cabinet, loaded with a Celestion Vintage 30!

If the volume is a problem, why use an high efficient speaker? (100db)

 

[gtr31]

there rumour on a 40 watt , Mark said it himself

I imagine same look likely just in a headshell bigger iron

that would be very cool ,wonder if that will show up at Namm
