What can y'all tell me about this? I may get one in a part trade towards my Les Paul...

I don't personally know from experience or owning one.

But I recommend using the Search function.

He does, a red one of course.  Twinfan used to have one too.

I sold mine at xmas. Reason I sold it was because I was after a more modern sound and didnt have space as I had a 1x12 Matamp cab with it and I only have a small room in my flat. Sold it for a bit of a bargain tbh and wish I had space as I would have kept it.

It did lush clean and low gain sounds and was good with my pedals. It was a lot louder then you might think for 4W. If you can get it for a bargain and your after the warm orange/fender clean->growl type sound its worth a try. Think John Mayer -> Hendrixy sound.

Build quality was great btw and had no problems over the 18months I owned it.

Oh 4W is WAY too loud for my needs already, but that doesn't matter so much. Looks like the trade won't happen anyway :(  Thanks guys.

listened to clips and wasn't keen, but tried wez's and thought it was really nice actually.

i am happy with mine.   The basic tone is pretty damn nice and it breaks up just when i want it to, its nice and simple to use so hard to get bad tones from

its definatly in the blues/classic rock spectrum more than anything else, but it does work well with a boost pedal pushing it into filth.

of course, it is red and therefore sounds much better than the black ones :)

Pierre tried mine yesterday... I think he liked it!  :lol:
They are great little amps... for me, they're the perfect small gig or home amp.
