These things are absolutely killer. I had a play on the AC model last week, and it is unbelievably good. I'll be getting one straight away, and throwing it in the gig kit as a backup. They're loud, break up beautifully and are the size of my hand. Possible Katana killer.

Looks great in the video.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I like simple but these particular amps don't do much for me. They look like an old radio from the 60's... and one of the least impressive looking 50 watters I can recall seeing in a long time.

Each to their own I guess.

Because let's face it, it's how an amp looks that's most important... :P :wink: :moresarc:

No... but when you've got a 50w amp that you could get mixed up with your alarm clock radio that's probably not ideal ;-)

It also depends what you intend on using it for. If you are intending on this being your number one, stadium slaying amp, you're going to be disappointed. If you want an insanely good sounding, compact and portable practice rig to take to rehearsals, have it setup in your living room for compact jams, or throw in your bag as a backup for gigs, this thing is, in my opinion, unbeatable.
