Does anyone here own one of these amps? I've driven to two guitar centers and a sam ash and I still can't find 'em. I was pretty satisfied with what I heard on youtube, but I want to try it out for myself. I was just wondering if anyone had one and if you do is it worth it? I already have a Fender Deville, but I need something small to carry around.

They are cool little amps - very loud for the low wattage - My buddies own a shop and they are dealers for Blackheart amps, they have several of them - one dude souped one up and put different tubes in it, sounded amazing!

I've got the Little Giant and couldn't be happier with it....Stuck a JJ 12ax7 and a Mullard EL 84 in it, built the Bitmo 10-uator mod for it and now it'll smoke a blues junior . Solid as a rock, loud as f*ck and tone for days, plus it's easy to mod.

I have a Little Giant 5 Watt. I love it! I couldn't be happier with it. It has a toggle between 3 and 5 watts so it is perfect for practice. You start to push the tubes a bit when the volume is around 2 O'clock or so. I put a Tung Sol 12AX7 and a Mullard EL84 in mine. I am thinking about the BitMo mod for it too.

You won't be disappointed in it! They make a 1 Watt amp called the Killer Ant if you are looking for portability!

My Little Giant Head is loud as hell for 5 watts, but a great little amp....However, the Killer Ant has been my favorite since getting it back in October...tube tone without going deaf and/or pissing off the neighbors, which you can actually do with a 5 watt tube amp if you have it set just right :twisted:

I spent some time playing through one of these today, with my '75 strat, and I love it! Im going to pick one up next Friday when we return from vacation - I was very impressed with what this amp can do!
