Just got this about an hour ago. Have not plugged it in so I will go and do that now. I will leave a very nice sweetwater pic of it.

Congrats! Yeah, the $100 price drop to $299 sure makes it look like a good buy.
Single power tube implies real class A, I guess?
And I like that it comes with a power sink so you can crank it up at low volume.
But can you disable that glow?

Is it bluesy? Might be a more affordable alternative to the VOX Night Train I am GASing for!

I am still playing with it. The 12BH7 tube for power makes the tone different than el84's or 6v6's. Glassy cleans and great crunch with a dimed normal channel and the drive channel. So far only played through my 12" CRex. Only a half hour of play time. Going to back and play some more and share later.

I got it mainly for recording or late night playing. I think this was 300.00 well spent.

Light does not disable without 'modding' it with a switch. I like it. :D

The youtubes on this 5 watt give a decent idea of the sound. The sound from the red box with the 4x12 simulation sounded very bluesy. The red box was a real plus for me and a primary reason to buy this amp. It will make a great bedroom amp all around. It will sit on top on my Musty 1, that is sorta replacing.

Man, that just ain't right. :cry:

More story once one develops from playing it. :lol:

This is a very nice amplifier. The drive channel relates well to the clean channel. No wild EQ swings like the HRDIII. Tried it through my Alnico Red Fang 10". Sounded like a toy compared to the CRex. Also, paper just sounds thin and, well, papery :lol: after listening to the same amp through a hemp speaker. I'll try the lil buddy tomorrow. See how a 10" hemp speaker sounds. Not to mention. the lil buddy is broken in.

I'll play with the red box output tonight.

I have a bugera V5. It is going to be sold. I have the 5 watt amp I want now. :D

Haven't plugged in yet, but here it is sitting on my computer tower with my Lexicon Alpha on top. I have the red box plugged into the Alpha and then I can play this sweet thing with headphones. Or record. :D

I've tried those--they sound great and then you hit the Drive button and it's even better.

Nice amp-
Enjoy!

nice !

interestingly, the 12BH7 is the same power tube my(the) Blackstar HT5 uses, and the ecc83 preamp as well.
score a NOS USA Tung Sol 12BH7 & it'll become a freaking MONSTER in a small package !

I push a NOS Mullard ecc82 (I like mellower pre-amp) thru the Tung Sol power tube and it's mighty sweet!
