These guys have been making excellent clones for some time and now their own amps are coming to the fore. I like the sound of this one, spec-wise.

Ooo that's new. Been checking their site on and off for a year or two and they've only been listing Fender clones for quite some time. Looks very promising

Nice that it's going to be available in Argos. So long as you can find one of those wee blue pens.

No but I do recall there was more than one version of Argos. I used to go to other shops and get a look at the item then go to Argos and buy it. Sometimes the pickers would put it on the shelf behind the counter and you'd be waiting ages just staring at it whilst someone got around to shouting your number.

Sorry for the diversion, Grant. :-)

You buy boutique amps, and then you get spammed by companies selling other boutique amps.
Why is it that I get spam from companies selling penis enlargers? (cue sound of a man trying to close a drawer over filled with vacuum flasks, pumps etc)
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Dunno. I've never bought one new. Maybe they've heard about my impulsive nature.
