You know I'm an ignoramus about amps, so I'm probably missing something crucial, but it seems like a direct ripoff of the Tiny Terror to me.

It looks OK.  But it has too many knobs.

Reminds me of the THD Univalve/Bivalve more than the Tiny cr@pper by looks.

Features wise... it's the same but with more EQ

I think it looks good. I wonder how much it will cost. Probably better than the TT as much as I hate to say that. More EQ options is a plus

Ohh Yes. I really like that... Mmm

I've got a thing about low wattage amps + being able to see the glow of tubes.

How much though?

the vox..only price could find was £425..and for that would either save up and buy a THD, a Minimat2 or one of martamps

To quote that old Scorpions B-side... don't make no promises your body can't keep.

Many Phil, you're a walking encyclopedia!!

Nice quote btw.

Actually I did bid on a Soldano Decatone on the bay last week, but it went higher up than I thought, phew ... so far I am still within promise as I didn't actually BUY, just BID :O)

You KNOW that tubes are calling you, Hunter!  :lol:

Modelling is all well and good, but you just can't beat valves  ;)

Why did I know you would say that?

Actually it was real good to have a break from the Shiva and try all those other amps (models), it gave me a new hearing, and I now hooked up back the Shiva I ended up dialing in very different settings

Now getting it much closer to that JCM800 on steroids feel that I was after. It really rips with Drive, Mid, Treb on 3 o'clock and bass on 1 or 2 o'clock. Before I had all around noon and used boost pedals and the bright switch on.
