"I have owned this for over 6 years"

Feature:
basic controls works nicely with warm vintage humbuckers.

Quality:
It is a tube amp and tubes only last so long in any amp. It has cerramic tube sockets. I think sovtec 12ax7's, in the pre amp would be nice. I have owned this amp for over 6 years..

Value:
It is all tube two 6L6's and 3 12ax7's

Desirability:
compare to a fender delux with a master volume, but with more gain.

Sound:
There is a wide range of sound from this amp, it comes with one 10" so what do you expect. I play mine through a 2 twelve cab with 2 celestion green backs, it sounds great. the 40 watts match the two 25 watt speakers nicely.

Ease of Use:
play with the pre-gain and master volume,

Support:
the only problem that I have had with it was repaired with ease.

Overall:
I have removed the amp and built a small head it is very easy to carry and light.

"if i played more surf and less punk this would be the best amp ever."

Feature:
there are no real features except that you can use this to powera a big 'ol cab, which is one hell of a feature. but other wise it lacks what is considered standard by most people (it has only one drive channel). But the simplicity is what attracted me to it.

Quality:
ehh, i've seen better and i've seen worse

Value:
for a tube amp its a great value, the tone does not suit my specific needs but it might work well for other people who play mor than barre cords.

Desirability:
it looks pretty wimpy. all the guys in my band made fun of me when i first brought it to practice, and then when i had to turn it up to ten just to me heard, they laughed harder. but i think it quite a handsome little amp. very retro.

Sound:
The sound is really great, especially if your playing leads or riffs. its a little thin when amplifing a single coil guitar (in my case p-90's). Pretty good tube sound, very tangable texture and tone. NOT good for punk and heavy rock, too thin and not crisp enough, not to mention not loud enough, I think i will be returning this for a solid state with more wattage at the smae price. Don't even think about playing an acoustic/electric through this thing.

Ease of Use:
so simple how could you screw it up

Support:
same day music has great support, but i can't speak about pignose because i never talked to them.

Overall:
If you play loud music and like vintage sort of things you might be tempted to get this thing, my advice is don't. I like the tube sound and mosrite guitars and all that good crap, but this isn't going to meet your demands if your playing in clubs that hold 200 people (unless you can mic it). Its also not going to sound as good as a solid state at high levels because you've really got to push this thing to get it at a clearly audible level over the drums. so if you play punk/rock/grunge (think nirvana) like me you'll want to pass, but if you dig the more strait up classic rock sort of stuff than it might be your thing. also i found the distortion to be awesome for leads and absolute crap for chords, it gets a nice overdriven tone but when you want something really gritty it loses all its clarity. If i ever started a surf rock band (and i might) i'd be glad to have this sucker.
