Guitar Amp

Finally got round to getting a new amp, only seven or so years after selling my last one. It's a bit of a step down, going from

to

But I have got to say I'm delighted with it. 1W of pure Class A valve tone, two channels, drive + master volume and even an external speaker cabinet. Sounds awesome and it's pretty damned loud too. Excellent demo video here;

I'd recommend anyone looking for a small amp to try to test drive one of these...it'll blow any 15-30W solid state amp clean away.

Shouldn't be long before Fettoken sniffs out this thread

First question has to be... so did you play Stairway To Heaven as first tune on the new amp?

@Aoami - £200 and they threw in one of those cool clamp tuner things. (The 30th Anniversary stack cost me £1100 back in 2001 and I sold it in 2005 for about £900)
@Roo - actually it was Back in Black followed by Holy Diver

Had a longer play with it last night and the sound is amazing from such a little box...really sweet valve tone. Obviously it's not going to replace a JCM800 or a Nomad, but it blows away any practice amp I've ever heard by a long way.
